Back in the 1960's there was a chain of restaurants that we used to go to, they were called "The Glass House", that was a day trip to go out I65 to go to it, back when you used to go for Sunday drives. I don't believe any are still around any longer. It wa a chain in the South; does anyone else remember any of them? Anyway I found this recipe in ome of my grandmother's recipe files listed as from "The Glass House"
