Susan says
That was a lot of work to get to the recipe, and to then have to figure out how to mesh your comments with the actual recipe. Sorry, but having to do all that work for the recipe is not worth it for me. I would much prefer to have it all in one place. If you have another recipe on the BH&G site like that, I will not be chasing it down, no matter how good it might sound. I'm sorry to be so negative, but this experience really got to me.
