I most certainly never said that I never do. But there are a whole slew of
things that we can't eat, including seasonings. I love to read about food
and watch cooking shows. My daughter does not. Probably the last thing she
would want to do would be to peruse recipes.

Oddly enough both she and my husband loved the cobbler. I was the one who
didn't like it so much. I did like the berries. Just not the cobbler part.
You just never know. I can look at a recipe and like all of the ingredients
that go into it and yet not like the finished dish.
