Notes: I've never considered myself a "good" cook, so the first time Adam and I had Chris and Sandy over and I was in charge of the menu, I was a little nervous. Since Adam requested this recipe multiple times in the past, I figured it was a safe bet. Yada, yada, yada...everyone still trusts me to cook for them! I think?
