this looks like an excellent recipe. I have a friend that has some cooking abilities and I will try to pursuade him to cook this meal for my wife and me. I'm good for the Merlot.

  Definitely one to drag friends out of hibernation for when the wind blows off the Snowies in the ACT. Us Canberrans do appreciate flavoursome comfort food in Winter. Go Lucas!
