another hit!

pat me on the back! that's 2 in a row!
i usually don't mind cooking if someone will just tell me WHAT to cook! i am always getting these recipes on my e-mail and mostly i just delete them. but this one caught my eye, and so i decided to give it a try. i will definitely make this again! it was quick and easy (2 musts in my book!). i served it on a bed of rice with some steamed broccoli... d*e*l*i*c*i*o*u*s!
