"This is an excellent recipe for tea since the slices are small and just the right amount for a light snack. I found this recipe in the Express community cookbook, Keep the fires burning."

I'm a farm girl from Ontario, now living in Newfoundland for 27 years and love it. Lots of fresh air and a beautiful view of the water. Space to enjoy all my flower beds, and friendly people. I love to cook and feed people well, with all my added Newfoundland recipies its no problem. My favorite cook books are a set of Betty Crocker books, 20 in all, which I have had for at least 35 years.
