OMG!!! This was an awesome recipe. I added fresh lemon thyme,whole new potatoes and thickened the pan juices with a little cornstarch slurry. The timing was right on as were the directions. My family just couldn't stop eating this! I took a photo of my own portion and will post it as soon as it shows up. Thanks so much for sharing. I'm so glad I adopted you Scoutie. I'll be trying more of your recipes soon. Made for PAC Spring 2010.

<p>Hello all, being from California, I can honestly say I am a foodie. You can walk by construction workers here and hear them saying things like, So I used some fresh garlic and olive oil, then threw the rest into the pan to sautee. LOL I love all kinds of food, and trying to eat healthier as I get older, but still indulge in the occasional deep-fried food or sweet. <br />I LOVE this site! I have 3 or 4 other food sites such as Epicurious and Food Network, but I always come back here! The ease and all of the features just can't be beat. <br />Thanks Zaar and I look forward to participating more.</p>
