I hope Neil hurries up and gets home. I'm hungry! I made dinner, and it's been sitting in the microwave waiting for him. I may go ahead and have my half before it becomes inedible ;) ANyway, here's the recipe. I got it out of a book I picked up this weekend dirt cheap at a discount book store in Manahawkin.
