It’s easy to be confused by wording like “submit your query to…” or “after [...]

Umm… maybe a touch too much cayenne. Jim loved it, but I detected a slight bitterness and too much bite. And I didn’t seal the crusts together quite right so the juice boiled out on one side. It was still damned good, but I definitely will have to resist the hubby blandishments for “just a [...]
