SORRY nyt didn't include this one. I've used this one of theirs for years, it's a real favorite.

2. YES!

ALMOST makes me want to cook!

3. Now, don't get carried away. LOL.

I actually hate cooking and am very resentful that my husband refuses to cook AND does very little around the house generally, but this meal was pretty easy and quick.

Since I am stuck doing most stuff, you can't imagine the things I've done to streamline absolutely everything so I am not constantly working at some hated chore. I've even refined down to the nub every process, ruthlessly thrown out new mops that aren't perfect, etc., just to lessen the hassle. This recipe was a keeper!

4. I'd consult with you for some lessons probably but

I'm at that point of life when I don't really need more 'suggestions!' When I take on new 'tasks,' they're for good reasons!
