Obviously you don't think much of her, so it's better that you make
them.... and make the rest of the meal while you're at it. Be a manly
man, tell her you're taking over cooking duties because she's so lousy
at following a simple recipe.

In any case, this thread reminds me of the Everyone Loves Raymond
episode where his mom finally taught his wife how to make her special
spaghetti sauce... but changed the label on a jar of some crucial
herb.
