Somebodys B'day Dinner -Review Nov. 4, 2013 - losblanos1 - 10-13-2013
I had a tough time deciding on this dinner, but in the end I chose the easiest recipe that I had on my list. I didn't choose a dessert this time though.
Reviews due on Nov. 4th.

The chutney sounds very interesting. Do you know how long it would keep?
Re: Somebodys Birthday Dinner Nov. 2013 - Mare749 - 10-14-2013
Alina, I don't actually know, but probably wouldn't keep it more than a few days, but that's just me. Since it's just the two of us, I am going to cut the recipe in half.
Re: Somebodys Birthday Dinner Nov. 2013 - cjs - 10-14-2013
I would also, cut it in half for us.
