| Notes: |
2017-10-22: instead of the milk and eggs, we used Mornay sauce from a previous recipe.
Therefore, we eliminated the additional parmesan.
I replaced the peas with edamame which was a poor idea.
Lew wants to reduce/eliminate the cheddar.
I'm thinking a little horseradish should be added to the leftovers.
