This recipe was passed on to me by an acquaintance a million years ago at a dinner with friends. Our paths merely crossed so I have no memory of him: I do not remember his appearance, name, or what he was like as a person. I was left with this recipe that I made mine because I repeated it so many times. The mysteries of life: thanks unknown acquaintance, you gave me a very good recipe!
