I apologize in advance...but I need to do just a LITTLE venting... mostly because I didn't get the opportunity to vent AT the person who deserves it. Actually, I may not even need to vent. I just need to describe what I saw today: a person driving a Prius throwing trash and a cigarette butt out their window. I guess littering doesn't hurt the environment?!?! Oh wait, that's venting. Sorry. I'm done.
Okay, a menu. Hmmmm. I am having "cooker's block" today. Here goes nothing!

Serve over white rice. It's delicious!)
