I thought it was quite time for someone to review this. I made 1/2 of a batch, as that's enough for me, and for the blender as well. I didn't have fresh rosemary, and could have opted for dried, but I put in some granulated garlic instead. I also used dried onion as I forgot to get an onion. Otherwise, I followed the instructions, and I thought it was quite lovely. Thank you very much Molly53!
