It's been a whole week since I lost Gambit now. Xena is settling in to her new routine with her playmate. She hasn't eaten well over the past few weeks since the big guy was sick. I've had good days and bad days. It's hardest at night when we all sit down to watch TV. Xena would get in Pat's lap and Gambit mine.

Todays recipe comes from the Houston Chronicle recipe files. I am giving you it as it appears.

Never the less, I am going to put the recipe down as is and remind you, you can substitute the seasoning in the recipe as I did to suit your taste. I like this one because it taste better the next day. It goes well with my lunch sandwiches and provides plenty of fiber and bulk. ( Amy you would...
