---Notes---
This
was the first dish I attempted to make following my series of surgeries in 2015
- and it was an unmitigated failure! How
hard can it be to make something from scratch, from memory - that you have made
thousands of times?!?!?!
This
was the point I realized that I had lost all of my memories and what I did have
actually was not reliable at all. Hence,
the recipe restarts and relearning about a lifetime of cooking.
