MMMMMM- That sounds delicious, Honeychile! I think I'll call you the next time I have a question in the kitchen. Oh- I do have a quick one- when you cook in a casserole dish (like your party potatoes, for instance), do you usually put the lid on before you put it in the oven? The recipes hardly ever say & I never know what to to- can you please clear up this mystery to me?
