It's been a long time since you posted this recipe for me.
I never seemed to be able to have the ingredients for it
in the house all at the same time.

Made this last night for dinner. Yup, went a little overboard

I wanted to thank you again for the recipe. Next time I
will be more respectful of the heat. Heh.
