Source: "Vinyard Seasons" by Susan Branch I know I mentioned "Vinyard Seasons" to you guys before, but I haven't tried anything out of it yet. I just picked these three things (Hot Apple Soup, Chicken in Phyllo, Indian Pudding) to put together for what I think will be a nice autumn meal. Get a fire going in the fireplace, and it'll be great! This is a nice book. Meal Master doesn't do these recipes justice. The entire book is hand written and illustrated. * From the Polka Dot Cottage, 1 201 822 3627, NJ's BBS for Homemakers! Posted by LISA on 11 26 95
