  2. Thank you for your visit and comment about my easy applique shirts! I see that you have TONS of fabric to use for just such a fun and fast craft. I am quickly getting in that same position!

    This recipe looks very yummy, and reminds me of something that my mom used to make often. Good stuff!

    I also love the quote at the end of your signature...Have the Day of Your Choice...so true, and I may use it!

  3. I attest to absolute deliciousness of this dish! Using re-hydrated Shitake mushrooms adds an interesting texture to the meal, almost like a meat substitute. Also I omitted the dill in the crust, still great.
