tempeh is very new to me

[Guest guest]

Thank you for a reposting of this recipe. I'm not vegetarian but eat

most vegetarian meals. I don't know very much about using tempeh and

didn't see this recipe in the files.

I will try this as soon as I find tempeh and try to figure out how it

looks. Sandy - (that is trying hard with no help from my husband or

German Mom!)
