What with my half century mark approaching in a week or so, I was chatting on MSN with some friends regarding the passing of my parents last night. My mom passed on her 50th birthday, hence the conversation.

That sparked a longing for some childhood meals, and I decided to make one pot meal my Daddy invented. This recipe got me in to a regional cook-off for a Manischewitz competition a few years ago. I didn't win, but it sure was fun competing!

*ran out of room, will post recipe in next post
