  1. Hi

    No need to reply…just glad you’re enjoying them. I have a mini processer; juse for pesto and salsa. Dan has a big one….too much work to get it out, etc. So I typically use a knife. Good for the aggression! I was thinking of you today. First Responders rescued a dog off a cliff in a SF dog park. Was hoping you and your boy are doing fine. Miss you.
