vent - frustrating products! Rachel

[Guest guest]

Get the apron on and get back in the kitchen. Believe

me I always say I need to write a book about my

kitchen disasters. That's part of mastering the

skill. The only thing that keeps me from trying a

recipe or cooking is if I microplane zest a finger

A nice drizzle flavorful icing is powdered sugar,

little bit of soy milk and a dash of orange juice and

some orange zest or lemon juice and lemon zest and you

can also do lime juice and lime zest.
