I thought that I had a pretty good recipe, but this one tops mine!  I'll never be the same again.  Wendy thanks so much for sharing your family recipe with us at our Thanksgiving feast that we had at work... Thanksgiving 2009.

 my niece Holly is an up and coming Photographer and she had taken pictures from our holiday dinner and I didn't know that she took pictures of the food until she sent pictures to me... so I had to add this picture!
