Sounds yummy. I’m going to try it.
P.S.: Where’s the story? I always look forward to those.
Delores, Thank you for commenting on the absence of the story, This is only the second recipe I ever posted with no story.
I thought I would see if anyone noticed and you did. I will go back to adding stories to the recipes!
Looks good – I’ll try this one.
