I have a old good memory about around 1968. Myrtle and Rosy experienced cooking when Doug was on long runs. I sat with Cindy and Doug so stay out kitchen. Once they made a white candy from goats milk. Not sure where got goat milk. It was very good. Another time made taffy. Pulling and stretching across table, very good too.
