Let's take a trip back to the winter of 2000. My roommate living in the Phi Sig house was Chris Dreyer. We both are from the Bay Area so we would carpool to and from AZ for Christmas break. When we finally got to his house in Palo Alto, his mom had this waiting on the stove top (Shout out to Linda Dreyer). I ate it again and again that break. 2 years ago when I was back home for Christmas Mama Dukes made it for an informal dinner party to rave reviews, enjoy! Ingredients:
