Karen, I think the fancy apparel adds to the recipe. I shall definitely try Mark's recipe. I understand that you are a great cook in your own right.
Marked wowed Julie and Leasa with this treat, we'd never had it before. It could be that it perfectly fit the mood and the setting, but we all had seconds so that was a good sign. Marked made the chicken, Leasa made the dumplings, I tried to put down the recipe but didn't make it myself - hope it works out.
