Thought for the day:
He put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear the Lord
and put their trust in him.

OMG. I couldn't get to any of your recipes because they are pretty much covered by all the ads. I know it's not your fault but it's so annoying. I usually just end up forgetting it. Your site is not the only one that has this problem though.
Chris Scheuer says
Hi Jan, I'm so sorry this is frustrating to you. I understand. I don't really care for the ads on television either but I know that it's how they are able to offer quality entertainment for "free". It's the same with us. It's very expensive to run a website, purchase photography equipment and computers, buy enough groceries to test a recipe multiple times and pay the people who work for us to help keep things running. It's, like television, the way we can offer tested, delicious recipes to our readers for free. Again, sorry for the frustration.

Jackie says
Your veggie and lemony feta dip try is absolutely beautiful! The dip sounds like it would be delicious. I'm going to try to duplicate your efforts for our next gathering, whenever that might be. Can't wait for the opportunity for a gathering now that the vaccine is available.
