I am sure it's fine, I have been trying now for TWO hours to download the month's worth of recipes - I don't want to subscribe to your magazine, I don't want to participate in your sweepstakes, all I want it to print the menu plan - this happens in ALL the "magazine" websites - be careful - it's tiring and boring - I will make one more try to print the meal plan, if it does not work I am done with this website and your magazine forever. sorry, get to the point!
