You
probably thought this is where the 'dirt' is.
Wrong! This is where the Family Secrets are. You know
........ "Aunt Imogene, how do you make those beans?" "Oh,
it's just a little of this and a little of that, an old
family secret".
Well, we got a few of them to talk about the old family
secrets. And what Pot Luck Reunion would be worth a plug
nickel without them? So, I'm starting with my favorite
which Aunt Imogene Mackie shared with me many years ago.
Neither Cathy or I can make it as good as Aunt Imogene.
