    it's goodNOTES : I saw this one on Jeff Smith's TV program, "The Frugal Gourmet" about a year ago.
  20. 20
    As the program ended I realized that I had to try this recipe so I jotted it down on paper as best as I could remember it and then transferred it to "Mangia" on my Mac.

    I have fixed the dish many times now, made a few adjustments and I believe it's about perfect for posting
