      This is like those sites where you just need that recipe for the Bloomin’ Onion sauce because you forgot one ingredient and you get the life story of the author:

      “We were riding on horseback around Tuscany when my riding boot got scuffed by the buckle, so we stopped by a local cobbler to repair it while we listned to the church bells of a nearby…”

      3 screens later…

      “There was an Outback Express at the airport and I asked the waiter…”

      “Horseradish” Oh yeah!
