 NOTES : “Given to me, originally, by Frank Berry. By modifying, I have
 improved this dish.” (That folks is engineer’s  way of ribbing his friend and
 co-worker,  Frank.) 
   By the way, it is terrific!!!!!  It is a pretty standard recipe, more like
 a stir fry than the typical G.T’s Chicken that you get in restaurants (we
 love that too!! )  This is less fattening. Feel free to edit it, change it,
 eat it, and pass it around. Frank and Jerry will get a kick out of that!
