So we all love Pinterest right? Right. One thing in particular that drives me nuts (besides spam pins) is when you see something and fall instantly in love with it only to find when you click the pin it leads to a dead link or only a picture with no inkling of where it came from (or the link leads you to those shoes, oh those shoes, and yea they are $300). Something similar happened here, I followed the pin and it lead me to Foodgawker, hmm okay. So after a search I found it! The picture that had me drooling was mine, so after doing a dance in my head, I proceeded. You can imagine my dismay when I found the recipe had been removed (!!!!!) with a note saying you now must download their app to get it. Okay, I get it, the recipe was popular and now you want to use it’s popularity to get people to use your app, fine, but I ain’t doing it. Google to the rescue. After yet another search, I found it on a beautiful little blog with an owner who must have discovered it before it’s fame. Instead of being frustrated, I was happy to have found a couple more blogs that I enjoy and the recipe I would dig in to that night. Since it took me so long to find it, I won’t spend any more keeping it from you. Enjoy!
