Notes

Here’s the recipe exactly as they emailed me <3. Pasted exactly as it was sent. Just like when you asked for a recipe from someone before the internet and they scribbled it down to get it to you quickly. Don’t you just love it?!! The shorthand! The the love. It’s printed and in my binder, like the handwritten recipe cards of yesteryear with a child’s doodle and a cocktail sauce stain . . .
