Sue: I have been on your email listing for a good year now, I think. Your emails never disappoint; I can always find at least 2-3 recipes that I want to try. This one was no exception. You are one of my top 2 go-to sources for cooking inspiration (cookieandkate.com is the other one, as I have a vegetarian daughter)
