Mon Jan 28 20:57:47 -0800 2008 3312923 16301 Non Cognomina 3 3344266 I'm sorry it took so long for me to get back to you. I checked my FG cookbook, and he states that unless noted, all herb measurements are for dried. BTW, The parsley should be a fresh quantity. My mistake.

Hey, I am not passing judgment here, just curious. It looks delicious just the way it is. Wed Jul 01 13:23:16 -0700 2009 3312886 227467 caseypons
