Jan,
Have fun.
Now I miss Cornell.
I remember when we used to joke about the nutritionists having
to take cooking classes first. I also remember a time during
study week, when I was in the Pancake House having lunch.
Sitting next to me were two women who were in that cooking
class. They were discussing the following question:
If you substitute 8 (liquid) ounces of sugar for 1 cup
sugar , how will the recipe be affected?
One said that it would make it more sweet.
The other said it would make it less sweet.
I nearly choked on my meal to keep from laughing.
Ahhh. The good old days.
Of course, I guess they finally got the last laugh.
