I've moved a lot; hate moving but sometimes it's necessary. When asking good friends to come help you move, it's a great idea to bribe them with food. If you're known as a good cook; you end up getting great and plentiful help. This recipe has been honed though years of tasting and adding and pleasing friends, who come back for seconds and thirds. Now, it may seem difficult with lots of ingredients, but once begun, it's easy and SO good; a rich and complex blend of flavors. Believe me, it's worth a bit of trouble!
