This sounds lovely. I had to look up Asafoetida, though.

Is it just fennel?

By the way, sonam (Mason?) won't you please introduce yourself to us here so that we can welcome you?

Pumpkin ravioli.... Mmmhhh....

[Aggie]

It's nothing like fennel, at least in the form one cooks with it... it's very sulphurous.

Should we go ahead and ban this user and delete these topics?

This person is not causing trouble, but he/she/it is certainly not contributing anything, either. I would see it as more a surgical excision of a probably benign, but annoying mole.

Probably just a spammer.  I would prefer not to keep a lot of inactive users that don't contribute anything hence the question....

You could delete the account and combine the three threads into one-- those recipes look interesting.

Or, perhaps tack them onto an existing recipe thread?

There's the recipe component installed on the Joomla side if any body wants to punch them in.
