FRC: Does this make you as crazy as it makes me? A friend just called to give me her thoughts on

DW reminded me that her sister is also famous for trying a recipe for the first time and...

...doing her typical ingredient shuffle, and then taking the dish to her husband's family for a get-together.

She then spends the evening wondering why no one eats her food. Then she tries it herself when she gets home and realizes just what kind of punishment she's inflicted on her relatives.

Again, we love her, but she's got some reality issues when it comes to food preparation that involve thinking it's ok to sub an equal amount of whole wheat flour for the pastry flour called for in the recipe. (Leave out the baking powder and sub rosemary for the cinnamon. Corn oil left over from the fish fry instead of butter; wheat germ instead of baking soda; prunes instead of chocolate chips. Woo Hoo!)

I'm glad we had a laugh. Excuse me now, the nurse has arrived with my adjusted doses.

When I said it made me absolutely crazy, I wasn't kidding.

 
LOL Joe. I do this over at EPI. I just copy a link from here in reply to recipe help.

I know it must irk the heck out of some, but I will no longer fight the formatting crud over there and maybe we will have more visitors. I do visit over there about once a week, just for old times sake and to stir things up from time to time.

 
and what about those who haven't tried the recipe at all but find the need to comment. arrgh.

 
Thanks Joe...

I was a long-time lurker at Gail's and found FK a while back. This is a great site and wish I had more time to spend here and contribute.
