"Sounds yummy to me. I think we will have this the night before Thanksgiving this year, throw some shrimp in maybe and a salad on the side..some good French bread with dipping sauce..hmm it might not make it that ling..maybe this weekend. I guess you could lighten it up a little, but WHY? The recipe also states that it will serve 2 as a main or 4 as a side; I can't figure out how to mark that in the serving spaces, so will list as 2 servings."
