NOTES : Tootie Notes:With this recipe was a recipe for the pastry
shells. I tried it and it was wonderful...but I have served this with
frozen pastry shells from the grocery store..I COULD tell the
difference but no one else seemed the least bit unhappy with the
taste. Will post the Pastry Shell recipe at a later time.
