Sounds odd, but this recipe is so good. I'm not cooking for a while due to the heat. So no picture right now! But as soon as it cools down, I'm making this again and will post what it looks like. Years ago I found it in a magazine while waiting in the Dr's office and made a copy and brought it home and tried it.
