Notes PC user may substitute organic ingredients with chemically enhanced, genetically modified, slave labored, plastic wrapped, Wal-Mart stamped oversized tasteless excuses for vegetables. Mac users follow the above directions with smugness. Although, now that I own a mac, I can't afford to by the organics...
