This was one of the very first meals I ever cooked for Dustin. He loved it! However, he's not one to ever throw anything out of the fridge so like 3 weeks later he ate some of the leftovers and got sick. He asked me to never make it again. I obliged...for 5 years. I clean out the fridge every Monday so he's safe this time!
