If it were me, I probably would spend a few days stewing over it. Then I would consult Matt, and stew some more. Then because I am kind of a softy, I would call her, perhaps with sketchy details on how to make it, then kick myself because I don't want her to have the fabulous pasta secret.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13821968120668567974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12774302.post-10851668807884439432008-03-26T17:15:00.000-07:002008-03-26T17:15:00.000-07:00Such crust!

(...Actually I probably would have called her back. (Don't let it out but I can be a doormat at times.) Maybe also because on my dad's side of the family, I am one of the few women who proclaims to be a cook. Somehow the others were not paying attention when my grandmother was dropping pearls of wisdom.<BR/><BR/>And I'm guessing that she is one of those people who follows a recipe exactly. Even down to measuring everything exactly. *shudder* Because I will often refer to cookbooks but I have an almost extreme dislike of measuring.
