Can you say "delish?" Oh, and it is great with a glass of Merlot. Or two.
OOOO, sounds so good. I can't read the recipe very well, though! How do you get the background to go away? Me hungry. Me miss Amy cooking.
ReplyDeleteKatie, I don't know what you are talking about. When I pull it up I can read it fine. If you can't go to marthastewart.com and search for the recipe. :)
ReplyDeleteOK Katie, so on Safari I was able to read it fine but when I opened Firefox I could see what you are talking about. I hope my changes worked. I just copied the recipe off of MS.
