    I like a paper copy so I have printed it off complete with the message not to reproduce it and your website at the bottom. I hope you don’t mind.
    This recipe looks great I have lots of chives and basil, love garlic and I probably will use cabbage in place of Kale because I have it on hand. Looking forward to trying it.
