I have to wonder why you've paid so much attention to my posts over the
years.

You'll have to refresh my memory. The only time I had "Thanksgiving" at
Barbara Jeans was the week we buried our mother. She died two days
before Thanksgiving, 2008. I honestly couldn't tell you now what I ate
ate that day. I probably did ask and was irritated about them pushing
the cookbook.

I do like basil cream sauce and have since successfully prepared it...
not over shrimp. It's excellent over gnocchi (another restaurant thing
I never tried to make).
