Yesterday I tried another new dish, this one inspired by a recipe I found on the internet. It was for pork, but I subsituted mock pork (seitan). I had half a head of napa cabbage that needed to be used, and I found this recipe looking around for napa cabbage recipes.

When people report bugs on the forum, I frequently try to fix them in the development version of the plugin, and ask them to […] (Read more)
