I would, Kevin! It was enough for the two of us and, at $10, I thought
the price reasonable (certainly cheaper than a comparable dinner out)
and I had the cash. :-) I'm not responsible, though, if you try it

Waal haal, I've got that Sour Cherry Chutney from the Inaugural Luncheon
menu taking up space in the fridge. Rats! I should've thought of that.
Had I more energy and time, I might have done the roasted potatoes€”we
like those.

Thanks for the feedback, Kevin.
