• 6 note from julie: this was my dad's favorite pie, and my mom got the recipe from his mother.
• 7 note, again: i've been on the 'net for a very, very long time, and this is one of the earliest recipes that i submitted to any search engines. what i can say: it's a tried and true recipe, one we've been using for well over 50 years. it's what my mom will be serving at christmas this year... what else can i say?
