The Southwest Voice

James has lived in the Southwest for the last 28 years. He is employed at Fraver Machine Shop. He is very active in his church, Valley Bible Fellowship. This was a favorite recipe as a child, then the recipe got lost. His mom tried to duplicate it from memory, but it was never the same. It was recently found in an old box, so James now keeps a copy on hand.
