I'm so glad I found this recipe. It looks identical to a recipe I came across online that was an old newspaper clipping from the 70's, probably. The site I had bookmarked is now gone and doing a search for the same recipe came up with nothing. Cooks.com to the rescue! I can now finally try this dish I have all the ingredients for!
