  1. This is a delicious marinade. I pretty much follow the recipe exactly, although I sometimes substitute white wine for the red wine vinegar. I also add thinly sliced red onion and capers. It's been frequently used and loved, and I apologize for waiting so long to review it!

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
