  <recipeinfo>
	  <blurb>This is a late addition to the Mom's Recipes project. Even
		  though mama and I love it, we left it
		  out because none of you kids were very excited about it.
		  But we've gotten some recent requests for the recipe, so
		  here it is.

    <author>From the good ol' Betty Crocker cookbook again. What would we
	    have done without that book?</author>
