Hey Kes -- I don't know how, but someone that URL starts with the mobile Facebook page, and includes many password-like or cookie-like characters.

I no longer have a FB account. When I clicked it, I got a page that looked like "Official FB is Official" which warned me against sharing my password, and then one click took me to the recipe, whose URL starts here:

Hey, Jesse, thanks! I usually try to check for a shorter link when I get a deep link like that, but this morning I took a Benedryl for my allergies, and things got a little muddled from there. This may be tmi, but I thought you would appreciate the irony: having incredibly itchy prosthetic eyes from the pollen. Wtf?

Hardly TMI, in fact, that's a fabulous detailed grossness that some clever writer should include when bemoaning the health woes of the little 4-eyed himalayan leaf hoppers. (I was *really* drowsy and watching Nature.)

I imagine it's not the eyes, but the sockets, but pooh on rationality.

And WTF are you reacting to? I find one of the true joys of winter is LESS DUST! LESS POLLEN! LESS itchy sneezy cranky.

I thought it was too early for pollen, also, but I guess things are already germinating. Alexx told me his WII Fit has an image that represents pollen and it's already showing up. Also, we've had an incredibly mild winter in Boston--every other week the temperature has been going up to high forties or mid-fifties. Friday or Saturday it is supposed to get up to 53 degrees or so.
