This looks like a recipe that would be nice to serve to company. I'm always looking for something that I can handle. Being a little challenged in the culinary department, I think this looks like something I could manage.

I do like this mag. Like all others, there is give & take, good & bad, BUT I like seeing new ways of doing exercises & this one adds to that. along with some good food stuff. Check it out in your local bookstore first to see what you think.

That really does look delicious but, I have no patience for cooking so don't think I will make it either. I am surprised my kids haven't starved with my cooking impatience. LOL.
