NOTES : This is a wonderful summertime recipe when you can get all ingredients fresh (either homegrown or from a neighborhood vegetable stand. ) We have a good one not too far from our house. It's not open long, but for a while in the summer, the fresh produce is great! Lou Parris [email protected] 1/97
