from Aunt Tress to Dana, July, 1958

Funny, I have recipes of Corinne that she's made a thousand times from her Swedish background. She likes the repetition, makes the same meal every Christmas. By the time I came along in the extended Leipper family there were many great cooks in the family and my claim to fame was to try something different. Aunt Tress was kind enough to say that was why she enjoyed coming to our house. It is still a characteristic of my cooking. I never do the same thing twice. - MLS
