Thank you, appreciate!

Strange problem with the notation, this is suppose to happen only when you rate the same recipe twice in less than 5 minutes... Anyway, don't worry, if you have time try again in a few minutes.

I love your site. Great recipes and tips.

I tried giving you 5 stars on this recipe but a new page loaded and had a message that "Notation impossible...". I have no idea what that is.

Anyway, thank you for all the hard work you put into this website.
