I know I'm a little late for green eggs & ham (shoulda been in March) but I had to wait for a friend of mine to come through with some quail eggs! Made the recipe almost as written, but couldn't bring myself to use all that jalapeno, so cut it back by a bit more than a half (& both of us were well-satisfied with that)! Thanks for a great tasting Green Eggs and Ham! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in the current Pick A Chef]
