The Chef's Comments: "Well, I finally got up the nerve to have people other
than my parents over for dinner. it went well, and really wasn't too hard.
Now I now I can repeat the process with Neil's family sometime. I keep
wanting to invite them over, but I'm kind of nervous cooking for a group.
Anyway, here's what we had:" Lisa
