fantastic dishMarch 23, 2009By marjorienichols
"I made this today for my 18 year old grand-daughter and she said that it is the best dish she has eaten. I was leary about the seasonings and I thought I should add something, but didn't. I am so happy that I made it exactly like written, except instead of the sherry I substitued pineapple juice. Be sure and temper your eggs with some of the hot sauce and SLOWLY add to the cream sauce so that it doesn't curdle. I told my sisters about this as they are good cooks and always want to try something new and delicious."
