"Those look absolutely yummy. Make sure to do the prep work of having the meat slow cooked and ready to go before trying to throw this together in a hurry. I am printing this recipe right now and plan on freezing the pork until we need a quick meal or a fast lunch. But, of course, I am gonna make myself a few before the rest hits the freezer."

"I can't wait to try this out! Royal icing is always something I've wanted to try but I can never get it to work out properly. I'm hoping this recipe will be a big help!"

"That's another reason for me to love vinegar. I had no clue you could use it as a weed killer. This is quite insightful and innovative. The only problem i have with it is its non-discriminating nature. It doesn't make it a healthy product for garden use, maybe limit its use to sidewalks and pavements where the other weeds grow."
