Sounds exactly right!!! (we went for the first time last weekend 6/30/07) One thing tho'....the recipe directions mention a "lemon olive oil mixture" but there is no mentio of lemons (or what to do with them) in the list of ingredients. If the "poster" can fill me in, great!! Otherwise, we'll just expiriment.... THANKS!!!!
