3. We took our grandson to Hope

and toured Bill's boyhood home. They had a few cookbooks for sale in the gift shop and we bought one with a lot of pictures of Bill and his friends during their early school years and it even had some copies of handwritten notes. One woman was really thinking ahead....there are photos of copies of birthday invitations (including the postmarked envelopes!!)from little Billy Blythe's 3rd and his 4th birthday parties.

The cookbook I bought had a few of Bill and Hillary's favorite recipes and then lots of his schoolmates added recipes, which I imagine he also grew up on. I just checked and this recipe isn't in this particular cookbook, so I just printed it and stuck it in the book.

I'm wondering how it would taste made with lime instead of lemon? I'll try the lemon first, but maybe later I'll check it out with lime or maybe a bit of both.
