I made this for Thanksgiving in 2009, and I was just floored by ow delicious this dish was! I served it to non-vegetarian family members,a nd they raved as well (including how "non-vegetarian" it tasted - LOL!) We moved recently and I was distraught that I couldn't find that recipe that I had clipped out and thought I had saved! I am so grateful for the internet!!
