                    No idea where this one came from. All I know it's torn from a magazine, I think it's Sunset but I'm not sure. Sometime, years ago, I wrote  GOOD  on the margin. Well I didn't lie, it is good. The prep time does not include preping the side boys. Invite some friends for supper hand them a nice glass of wine and a knife and everyone have fun slicing and dicing. You will all appreciate the meal more for the sharing.
