Personal Notes:
This is perhaps the only dish that I ever "created" and requested the most. The reason for the small amount of vegetables added was to create crunch while not freaking out the "little ones". Even as the "little ones" got to adulthood, I kept the crunch to the minimum. You all seem to like it the way you remember it as children. Why spoil a good thing!!
