Cooking Large

This was often made be the Church ladies for banquets or for funerals.  We certainly didn't get them at home very often.  I'm guessing they freeze well, though.  Mrs Bennett was one of Mother's friends from church and was active in the Women's Society, which is where this recipe comes in.  She was a teacher in the Newton School system for years.  Her younger son Jim was in my class at school.
