Last night I made up a recipe and it turned out great.  Let's see, what
should I call it?  

Southwestern Pasta with Chicken, Pine Nuts and Mango

I took 2 chicken breast filets and cubed them.  I mixed some El Yucateco
annato seasoner and cayenne pepper in with them.  I stir-fried them with a
handfull of pine nuts in butter.  Then I put in the mango, diced, about 3
strips from a jar.

I made a std. white sauce and used milk plus 1/4 c. of orange juice and a
jigger of tequila and a dash of the annato.  I added a dash of sugar and
grated some Parmesan cheese into it.  I mixed in the chiken, pine nuts,
mango and heated it thru.  I served it over linguine. My husband LOVED it.

I got the idea from a restaurant in Victoria, BC where I had chicken,
cashews and mango in a fabulous white sauce with wine over linguine.  I
didn't have any cashews or white wine so I improvised.
