NOTES: The first time I made this next one, I thought I might get some flak
from my teenaged boys. I was very surprised to get their thumbs up. All you
really need to complete the meal is some good french bread. Throw in a wedge
of ripened brie, and it is a meal fit for company. Pour everyone a glass of
good red wine and c’est magnifique!
