Hey Jan, I've encountered the same problem trying to get amounts needed for recipe from mom but unlike you, I gave up trying to figure it out. You nailed it. Thanks.

The recipe “exchange” conversation is classic ... “just mix it and you’ll know, what do you want me to tell you?” is my Mom. Gotta love it!

Another amazing edition Jan! I can so relate to the struggle of trying to make one of my mom's British recipes. I giggled all through it and thanks so much for brightening my day. Happy Easter to you and Sheldon!

what a delight to read this latest post. I love the way your mother describes her recipe ingredients by referencing not the size nor the variety, but the store it came from. Classic! Happy Easter, Jan

Here's to rebirth, spring, and tradition!

Thank you, Angela. And the store hasn't existed for like 30 years! God love her. Happy easter to you and the whole clan. Xo
