Your 2 comments or questions on this recipe

I would surely like to copy this recipe but because the author has put so much work into presenting it in the way that she did, it's impossible to do so. I absolutely HATE this website and this type of format. Make available the choice of just copying the recipe and instructions without all that visual crap.

Instead of hating, and waste time to write that, you should take a look to what the website offer, especially the printing format of each recipe by the button "Printable format"...
