Wayne,
I think you hit the jackpot here. I called my
aunt and read it to her and she's pretty sure it's
the right one. Hooray!

As for those who think this is "bad" food. Well,
it's not exactly to my taste but I'd probably eat
it. Even worse than the coolwhip, imo, are the
walnuts! Blecch! Anyway, if I saw a recipe like
this that sounded good in general except for a few
things I would just change it. If I made it I would
leave out the nuts and use real whipped cream instead
of coolwhip. That's the sort of thing I do with
various casseroles that call for various canned soups.
I just make my own white sauce and use that instead
of the canned soup.

Anyway, I thank you and my aunt thanks you!

Kate
