DeleteAs a picky eater, I have to say that if you take off the parsley, thyme, rosemary, and garlic (maybe a little garlic) I would try it. And I tried to answer all these questions but had a hard time with #4, so my answer just became, 'Wizard' cause I just love those markings.
ReplyDeleteWiz does have great markings :)
