Oh, I would not take it so lightly . It has taken many years of study under the guidance of cooking masters all over the world to reach this level of sophistication.
I ain’t got none of that bookface, tweeter or Lincoln stuff. Just wp and gmail. Honestly, with 325 subscribers and 2 or 3 dozen regular commenters I am really comfortable with what I have and the blog is growing 5-10 a month by world of mouth. Living cool is cool but eating frozen pizza frozen is not, believe me. Santa and I play dominoes all year and many Spanish people live here at the North Pole – Ice Cubans.
Carb-ilicious and very festive in that sense :)! Just make sure you present it on a huge plate, pretentiously sprinkled with chocolate sauce – it’s all about presentation these days!
Full marks for clarity of instructions. Reminds me of a line from a popular cook-book. In describing the recipe for cooking delicious hare-meat, it starts with, “first catch your hare”.
