    Looks like something a bachelor can prepare fast. I will, without several of the unknown ingredients, of course. 🙂

      Hi Frank, it definitely is a very quick recipe to prepare. All the above ingredients are readily available in most supermarkets, however, if you like, you can substitute for other ingredients that are already in your pantry. Enjoy!
