Pair with a nice merlot. (one bottle each) 8O

I adapted this from a home recipe, and haven't tried it yet. When I do I will let you know how it was. Sounds good :D

6 servings! Yeah, right - you haven't seen me eat after a day of paddling, have you? :p

I'll have to pass on the Merlot (but I hear cranberry juice is a good substitute), but otherwise I'd be happy to be a guinea pig for this recipe (and most others!). 8)
 
Sounds delicious Darren... much better than the fried rice and chicken dish I whipped up last night near Quesnel at 11 at night. Finally made it back home (nice to be back to the North coast again) and I wanted to thank you boys again as it was excellent meeting you and I much appreciated the hospitality. Heading back into Simpson tomorrow and am not looking forward to unpacking, but it will be good to get back on the water again.
