  3. Thank you Kathy and Linda. This looks like another one I will be trying. I have never heard of Mirin though. I don't recall even seeing it. But I will ask at the store for it. Kathy I love that beautiful smile of yours.

    1. Dottie- if you don't make many things with Mirin don't get it. I'm sure it will be ok without it.

    2. Thank you, Dottiemaye, for your kind words about my smile. I just added the mirin, it's a Japanese seasoned cooking wine, for added flavor, but as Linda said you are totally fine without it!

    1. Hi Barbara

      Max has been very, very ill but think and HOPE that he might be ok. He has lost some weight ( which is a good thing because it's easier on his joints)and is able to go for short walks. THANK YOU so much for asking about him.
