The reviews all say this is an amazing recipe. It started off sounding great. Then I got to step 2. It said to add the following. Nothing, absolutely nothing. What do I add.

So, guess I will not be using this recipe. <div>I am not a mind reader or some sort of Swami to be able to conjur up what is supposed to be done.</div><div>Food Network, how about proof reading things that you post on your page...</div>
