      Thank you thank you thank you Dennis, I made this side dish with your Marsala wine chicken, it was so good, unfortunately husband at work and I was eating by myself, he will eat tomorrow. I was so tired with my cooking and since I found you I’m enjoying cooking, first time cooked with wine.

      I’m not opposed to making convenience meals at all, Dennis. The first night I arrived home last week I ‘made’ Russ lasagne out of a box from the freezer. (Which he enjoyed tremendously.) It bought me 45 minutes’ worth of “kitchen cleanup” after his 6 weeks of bachelorhood, lol! Your succotash looks like a “winner, winner chicken dinner” with Barber’s stuffed chicken breasts, or any other number of “mains” I can think of… YUM. Fresh and vibrant!
