This made a delightful supper tonight Bonnie. I'd never tried putting lemon in the sauce before, but I'll be doing it again. Gave it a nice 'fresh' taste. I added extra black pepper than called for, but that was the only change I made. Honoured to make this as a "Thank You" for voting for Lawrencetown, Nova Scotia in the 2010 Kraft Hockeyville Competition.
