You tried my recipe so I tried one of yours...and I must say I'm glad I did! We must have the same taste! I love the addition of the Cointreau in this. The only think I changed was I omitted the peas...I'm not a big fan and I added red peppers. Delish!!! Now I need to try some more of your dishes. Thankyou!!!!
