I have made this recipe for a few years now and each time I laugh over the first time my daughter requested it. My husband called me at work one day furious because MY daughter was being difficult. He was going to surprise me and make dinner and had asked her what she wanted and all she kept telling him was Hay and Straw. (She and I had picked this recipe out of a cookbook a few days before to put on our To Make List.) So, when he told what was going on, I was able to explain that she really was requesting Hay and Straw and not being difficult. She couldn't remember exactly what was in it but only the name of the dish. We ended up going out to dinner that night. I made Hay and Straw a few nights later and it has remained one of her favorites.
