I was Sid's assistant for 13 years and worked with him at Johns Hopkins University until he retired. Sid was a great supervisor and a dear friend. I am disappointed that I will not be able to join in on this festive occasion, but I want to take this opportunity to wish him a Happy 80th Birthday.

Sid, I am a little apprehensive with sharing this recipe because you are such a wonderful cook. Though, I am sure you will be pleased to know that the calories are few and the fat content is even less.

Dave and I join in wishing you a delightful and delicious celebration.

Happy Birthday!
