  1. Wow, this is really cool, because our house just developed an obsession wih naan!! The only thing I've served it with is butter chicken, so this is awesome, thank you đź’›

  2. All wonderful and mouthwatering recipes Chris. Hope you and Scott are well and hanging in there. Printing a couple of these to try soon 🙂 Thank you!

  3. This is a wonderful, fun website!
    I would like to know how to stop some of the ads that don’t offer a delete or minimize option. Thank you for your advice.

    1. Hi Sue, thanks so much for your kind words. There shouldn't be any pop-up ads that block the view of the website that you can't just x out of. If you experience this, please send me a screenshot and I will send it to our ad agency who is very responsive to this kind of thing.
      The ads in between the paragraphs and pictures are how we make our living, just like television and magazines have ads to earn their livelihood. Running a website, purchasing camera and computers and grocery costs for testing lots of recipes are all very expensive and ads are the way we pay for all of this.
      Thanks again! Chris đź’•
