Hello everyone! It's so nice to have the list up & running again. In West
Virginia (where I am), we went from 79 degree weather yesterday to 34 degree
weather today. So, because I am now longing for Summer after that short
spurt of warmth, I dug out one of my favorite tropical recipes -- and I
noticed that it also works for this list. So, I thought I would share...
Enjoy! It is from Bobbie Hinman's "Meatless Gourmet: Favorite Recipes from
Around the World."
