"I made this when we hosted an International Dinner Club we had going several years ago. Well, more than several! I'm submitting it for the Zaar World Tour Spring '06. This recipe came from a book I found in the local library...this was before computers in the home! And although we all know a lot more about cooking now, I remember this as being very tasty, and it had a really pretty presentation. You can add hot stuff to your taste. Enjoy!"

One of the old time founding members of Recipezaar. I live in Port Orchard, Washington. I LOVE to cook and bake nearly everything! I HATE to see people join the site, have no published recipes, but rag on another cook in a review on a recipe they haven't even tried or didn't follow. Oh, and I hate cilantro, too. :)
