Trying to get my husband & kids to try new stuff is like pulling teeth. But this one is simple enough that I think they may go for it. I'll have to find out because I'm definitely going to try it. Thanks for the recipe!

That Shrimp Durango looks really good. I'm trying your Cream Cheese Pound Cake this weekend. I can't wait. By the way, I made a rendition of the black jumpsuit you like so much. I put pictures up today. I hope you like.
