NOTES : "Given to me, originally, by Frank Berry. By modifying, I have
improved this dish." (That folks is engineer's way of ribbing his friend
and coworker, Frank.) Posted just as he typed it to EATL and mcrecipe
8/29/96 by Brenda Adams. By the way, it is terrific!!!!! It is a pretty
standard recipe, more like a stir fry than the typical G.T's Chicken that
you get in restaurants (we love that too!! ) This is less fattening. Feel
free to edit it, change it, eat it, and pass it around. Frank and Jerry
will get a kick out of that! Posted to CHILEHEADS DIGEST V3 #099 Date:
