Veal Marsala With Mushrooms and Red Bell Pepper

I realize there are those out there in the blogosphere who do not approve of using veal, so if you're one of those people, then you'll want to leave now and possibly never return. We eat veal along with other things that many people "Tsk Tsk." us for. I don't care. I live in Texas where everyone that has any sense eats beef... any way they can get it. I am that type of person.
