Damn. I lost my list of questions during the whole “register for a password” process. There are better ways to handle user comments on wordpress, but this isn’t one of them. Plus your site takes AGES to load!
Hey Ruby,
Thanks for the feedback (although this isn’t the best place to give it – truthfully!) đŸ™‚
We’re always open to suggestions of how to improve the site. If you could send us a link to a better comment plugin (or WordPress site you believe handle’s comments better), please send it our way. This is a new website and we’re always looking for ways to improve it.
Thanks!

Delicious!!! Made this for my husband for the second time last weekend, along with collard greens and sweet potatoes. He devoured it.
