  • Why aren't all the ingredients listed before the directions begin. When you get to the directions, you find other ingredients. This recipe is a real mess.

  • This one of the most confusing set of instructions I have ever seen. Don't you have editors, proofreaders, etc? Eventually you can figure it out, and it sounds like it would be great. Also you have the most exasperating website I've ever seen. Where are the pther comments? why do you have to click several links to even get to the recipe. Why can't you click into the forum. You need help!
