Only one comment. Who on earth would attempt to cut a lime into 16 pieces? That's just plain Dumb. The lime is for flavor, Folks. You need to be able to taste it.

Using scented candles and "plugins" are 2 of my favorite ways to liven up the atmosphere in my home. After hanging out with this recipe all day, now I have a 3rd! The simplicity of browning, adding and walking away sure made for a unique mouthwatering aromatic. As I type, I haven't even eaten yet, but when you cook as much as I do, "you know from the nose" that dinner is ON!!! Too bad Super Bowl has past, this would have had everyone cheering no matter which team was winning!
