NOTES: Genie had a luncheon for me a couple of years ago at her house on Lower Long Lake. It was a beautiful spring day and we ate outside on the patio. The garden and lake made a quite lovely setting. She served this bread along with a salad. Everything was tasty. Diane Vandevelde, Barb Perry and Valerie Manaia were the other guests.
