Thanks, for the kudos, Hemant! I’ll share our secret “family recipe” if you’re ever in the LA area!
So I’ve been fostering friendships with atheists, talking to them, even marrying one so I could just get my hands on a recipe for roasted baby and now you guys tell me you don’t really eat them???
All for nothing.
