Sorcha, I can't wait to try your recipe -- but I'll probably have to put off the experiment a little while even so, life being life & all.

It looks as though a lot of my guesses align with yours (which makes me feel rather proud of myself for a first-timer). One major difference though, so I just want to be sure: You used no black pepper at all? That surprises me 'cause I used a ton of it, but perhaps those little black flecks in the sauce are one of your other ingredients I haven't used (like mesquite powder, which I don't think I've ever seen).

Thank you for your efforts!

Claire
