Nice recipe but, regretably, just not to our taste for dinner. It wouldn't be fair to rate it. I was glad I made it though. Might be nice for lunch with the "girls."

Very good! I used some Italian bread I had made and Canadian bacon. Loved the subtle hint the garlic gave to this dish. I also made it earlier in the afternoon, so it sat longer than 5 minutes. Made for New Kids on the Block. :)
