Thanks -- I looked on CC and could only find that it mentioned in the 29 minutes to dinner cookbook. I don't have the F/W 07 catalog so I can't look there. :-(
Now watch someone else find it on CC and point it out to me and then I'll feel dumb. But hey that's okay because at least I'll have the recipe then.
