So, I constantly find recipes stuck in books by other people when I find, buy or pilfer cookbooks.  I decided I need to share more of these recipes, and will even attempt to transcribe them here for the sake of preserving on the interwebs. Should you find this interesting, please comment and let me know.  Thanks!  R-
