2. WOW! That looks SO good...can't wait to get there :) [NT] - cheezz - 9:45pm on 07/14/15
3. If you get the rotisserie chicken, this is an AWESOME dish. Great crowd pleaser. [LINK] - Traca - 8:54pm on 07/13/15
1. Traca: Would this rotisserie dish be a suitable entré to follow to your coconut red lentil soup? - emtd - 11:11pm on 07/13/15

4. :) I wasn't thinking of taking a mini supermarket. I have to check a bag anyway and thought - cheezz - 12:42am on 07/14/15

1. :) [NT] - AngAk1 - 5:51pm on 07/15/15
