I got this recipe from someone I used to work with when I was in London. After making it for Thanksgiving dinner this year, and getting numerous requests for the recipe, it is officially time to put it on the blog. Only my friends look at this, since it is not searchable, so keep this to yourselves, buddies. Shhhh!!! Love you!
