Yup. Your newsgroup handle is appropriate.

As I was standing in front of the seafood counter at Wegmans on Thursday
night, the woman behind the counter noticed me carrying a copy of the
ketchup cake recipe. I took a copy of the recipe into the store with me
so I could buy the ingredients on it.

She asked me if I was really going to make that ketchup cake. I handed
her the recipe and I told her, that's why I was there; to buy the
ingredients for the recipe. She read the recipe and crinkled her nose
and said it sounds weird. Then she asked me when I planned to make this
cake. I told her on Sunday. She asked me to bring her in a slice. I told
her she reminds me of those people who drive by a serious car accident
and insist on looking at it. She laughed and said I was right. Then I
proceeded to buy all the ingredients except the eggs and red food dye.

I will pick up the eggs on Sunday. I couldn't find food dye at Wegmans,
even after asking for it at the customer service desk. Hopefully, the
Shop Rite near me will have the food dye.

I will let you know how the cake tuns out.
