And from thirschfeld you missed: "chop the parsley just enough to discipline it but for this you want to spank it, you need its full attention, you want it to be fine enough that Marco Pierre White could snort it"?!?!?!? Now that's worth a t-shirt.
OMG I'm on my way to the t-shirt shop. Sizes, anyone?
This is one of my all-time favorite food52 lines! So glad that you located it, boulangere.

T-shirt worthy indeed. I love this feature.
I needed this today...still missing my daughter, who passed away from breast cancer last year, and she always could make me laugh. Now for a glass of wine and an Oreo!
