Back in the old days, when we were working our way through college, we used to gather at friends’ houses each Friday night for pot luck, music, and good old fashioned adult-dose partying. As Grace Slick used to say, . . . Well, on second thought, maybe I better not go there.

Anyhow, a good friend, Mike Kirkpatrick, had a real love and talent for cooking. This is a recipe he gave us. Mike, wherever you are, my friend, thanks.
