I’ve had this recipe in my queue since May. I keep looking at it. And I keep drawing a blank. So I figured I’d just post it already, without any clever quips or dialogue, before it becomes one of those forgotten recipes stashed away in the depths of the recipe pile. Because it was tasty. It was different. And it deserves to be remembered.
