kelandy Oh, that sounds very good! I always enjoy a new recipe involving meat. It sounds like a nice recipe that gives off a little of both sweet and sour flavors. It seems like an easy dish to make and very delicious.

kelandy I think flowers are beautiful but to tell you the truth I probably would rather have chocalate. Especially with peanuts. Don't get me wrong though, flowers are always a nice gesture if they are given to you by someone special like a friend or husband.
