Saturday!

Ok, I know, I suck!  So late in the day, so very sorry.  But as they say, better late than never LOL!  Truth is I was busy coloring on my straight jacket when Spicy slapped me in the back of the head and told me to get busy!

So, I will keep it short since I am so late.  This dessert is something my mother made when I was growing up, a lot!  I have no idea where the original recipe came from, but I have seen lots of different versions of it on the internet.  I could sit at the kitchen table with my face in the pan when mom made them, but of course she wouldn't let me.  When I got out on my own I made them as often as I could.  Then the "spread" of body parts started and I figured it was time to give it up.  Except on special occasions of course! ;-)
