Here is what I made tonight.  It was so excellent!!  It's a bit 
unusual, for us, but I loved it. Of course I added stuff... I 
followed the basic recipe, but cut it in half and even then it 
would have fed 8 people nicely.  I added a 14 oz can of tomato 
sauce, a couple of Tblspns of lemon juice, 3 different hot 
sauces, salt and pepper, to taste. Then topped it with sliced 
green onions. It was pretty fine.

Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me - I want 
people to know WHY I look this way: I've traveled a long way and 
some of the roads weren't paved.
