UPDATE.......
Ok, so I made this for dinner Saturday night. I fed the kids first cause it was getting late. I thought Tad and I could enjoy a quiet dinner....even Tad thought I was making something romantic...LOL! Well, I would consider this a flop!! After Tad added a few things to it, the dish turned out tasting ok. It had a wierd texture from the eggs and the cornstarch....I am not going to be doing this one again. I am marking a big X over this recipe in the cookbook I got it from!! I was looking for more of a creamy white sauce....not a lumpy one!!
