Old habits are hard to break. I've made this every year for the Holiday Spread. Then one year I decided that I would make somethin' different . . . boy, oh boy!!! I never heard the end of it! Until I ended up making it when everyone was eating Christmas dinner. It had to be fast chilled in the freezer. It did turn out wonderful, though, and everyone was as happy as a clam.
