I believe I read that she was disinclined to spend the money on a
lawsuit, which is understandable. The interesting thing though is how
this editor and the publication she works for is apparently being taken

discovered over there now against parties who employ lawyers full time
that Cooks Source is in a deep pile of animal refuse now.
