Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This recipe came from our neighbor - Martha Schmitz. Mom planned to make some for a church bake sale once, but also wanted to play poker that night. The week before, she'd won pretty big in poker, so offered me half her winnings if I'd stay home and bake the bread for her. I agreed, thinking $20 or $30 was a good wage for making bread. She got home late, and the next day informed me that she had lost that night. Fortunately I did not have to pay half her loss.
