Notes: This was one of the first meals my future mother-in-law, Peggy, served to me. I knew then that I was marrying into the right family! I still love this dish as much as the first time, and it always takes me back to our early days of dating, when Mike and I were undergrads at FSU, and a big trip for us was driving to Atlanta to visit his parents.
