Always looking for new recipes/tastes for dinner, I downloaded the recipe
below a few weeks ago & decided to try it last night.

Wow. Really, really good! (Probably because I didn't f*ck with the recipe,
but followed it exactly, with no substitutions). Picky wife who "wasn't
really hungry" even went back for more.

Just thought I'd share. For me, this is a keeper. Give it a try.

Wow, Van, that does sound good. Simple too, but time consuming on the
veggies (which is fine).

Thanks for the idea.
