I fix lunch for a group of female card sharks every Tuesday. The house rule is they must provide honest opinions on every experimental dish I prepare for them. Not only was this one of the easiest lunches I have served, but it was their favorite (next to the pumpkin rolls). Stefania refused to leave until I wrote down the recipe for her, so here it is! :) KP 2023/02/14
