Dave, who not only lives near the coast in New England, but also lives near a substantial Portuguese population, was kind enough to send some, so that I may try http://foodsoftheworld.activeboards.net/the-magic-of-basque-cod-pil-pil_topic3009.html" rel="nofollow - Bacalao al Pil Pil , which is a quintessential Basque dish that you all will hear more about, hopefully in time for Lent.

 

I will post a link here when I complete the pictorial, and anyone interested can take a look at it then; for now, I want to thank Dave for his thoughtfulness and generosity - I think this is just what the doctor ordered!

 

Many thanks, my friend ~ I hope to do justice to your gift ~
