    Ended up marinating a day and a half. Was excellent. I didn't have white wine vinegar so I used white vinegar and white wine. Worked great! - 6/16/10

    I followed this recipe without making any changes, and it was very good. The lemon flavor was tangy, but not overpowering. It was a nice change and I will make it again. - 5/13/10
