I tell him they're a guideline, not a plan etched in stone. I like to experiment...and sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't...but I think that's half the fun, lol.ELFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00507018016608103452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-36911841135306076472015-04-27T23:58:23.798-04:002015-04-27T23:58:23.798-04:00Hi Martha!

But I'm sure that's how a person stumbles upon wonderful new dishes and other things. Almost everything was invented by accident as the inventor was trying for something totally different.<br /><br />Thanks again for coming!Linda Brodayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09357448132994020848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-85611311304368378532015-04-27T23:54:31.804-04:002015-04-27T23:54:31.804-04:00Hi Terri!

I'm with you on having to have an exact recipe. I can't just throw stuff together and hope it turns out. I wish I had my mother's gift but sadly, I do not.

I...I have to have a recipe and I follow it exactly. I got some new measuring spoons a month or so ago, and they have spoons with "smidgen," "pinch," and "dash" on them. Apparently, a smidgen is 1/32 of a teaspoon, pinch is 1/16, and dash is 1/8. :-)Shanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06267793335415078380noreply@blogger.com
