Growing up in Northern California, my family had a summer cabin at the beach. We had lots of friends at the cabin, and Mary and Walter Grubbs, were neighbors that were more like family! Mary taught my mom and me this recipe when I was about 5 or 6. I still make it today. Mary and Walter are not longer with us, but I remember talking their ears off as a little one, and they were ever so patient with this chatty cathy! Thank you Mary, Thank you Walter!
