Thank you all 

Well, it wouldn't be fair to take all the credit myself since I adapted it from a book 

Yes it tasted good. Next time I'd like to add some cheese as well

Cuilidh, not all of my adventures end well but I must say I am also very lucky because I have the chance to try many recipes since my husband eats almost anything
