There are arrows on the front of IPs? Never looked! I guess I've always put it on your way — matching the backs up.
You crack me up, btw!
I'll take a bowl! Do you have rolls too?
Nice looking soup. Thanks for the idea.
You cut those veggies just like on ‘Chopped’ !
You deserve 1million sub!
Thanks Tikki! I cook a very similar recipe as a staple, but it has grated lemon peel in it which rounds it off beautifully, you should give it a try!
