Many years ago, when I worked in Venezuela. I had an exchange student staying with me for a few days. I was out of the apartment and he answered the phone and took a message. When I returned, there was this message from "Osamara" and I was to call because it was urgent. The problem was, I had no clue who "Osamara" could be. It turned out to be my friend and associate ...Rosemary. In her honor, and his I renamed and reimagined my "old" Rosemary chicken recipe. Enjoy, be healthy, be Decadent Ward Alper, THE Decadent Diabetic
