"I made this recipie exactly as the poster instructed. (BTW, I have had professional culinary training both on the job and in schooling.) This had to be the second to worst dish I have ever made. (wh..." See moreich is rare.) I made this one evening for dinner. My husband and I choked it down(Out of starvation!), then tossed the leftoversout! I would not consider this to be a recipe that you would even want to feed to your dog, cat, or even an enemy!"
