I loved getting that recipe from Olive.  I called Jean's house and she told me Jean was between houses so I told Olive what recipe I wanted.  Olive said to me, "Do you have paper and a pen ?"  I said I had, but didn't she have to look the recipe up.  Again she asked if I had the paper and pen.  When I said I did she gave me the recipe.  When she got done, Olive said she has made this recipe so many times she didn't have to look it up.  According to Jean, Olive has lots of recipes, she doesn't have to look up.  The funniest thing, Jean said, is Edward, their soon to be adopted son, can do the same thing. It's sort of game between Olive and Edward.  One tells a recipe and the other tries to top it.
