You're definitely throwing down the gauntlet when you name something the "World's Easiest Dinner." the second my FIL received his Esquire and found it, they had to try it. Actually, they emailed everyone a scanned copy of the recipe, and tried it that night. We're up next.
I know, i know, I've been gone and didn't even post this past week's foodblog-a-round. Can I use the excuse that I was too busy stuffing my face with Singaporean / Malaysian specialities during a whirlwind trip to Singapore? I was and I'll see if I can dig up ...
