extremely informative and enlightening, because there is so much knowledge that could be shared to eat to honor our physical temple, in which the divine presence resides. this can change the face of humanity that we take time to know what we are eating and why we are eating. looking forward to more updates and information about different ingredients and their uses as well the recipes.
this is the first time I heard about purple passion potatoes, so really thank for the new addition to my personal collection of knowledge that I received from you.
