Just like children...once they are grown and out in the real world,
there's no controling them. But who'd want to? If a recipe of mine was
good and people enjoyed it, that's the point. If people like the recipe
and also modify it's even better. I'm not the only one with ideas, their
idea might make my recipe better and I'm for better recipes.

If food was just fuel to me I'd live on dog food. But food is more than
fuel to me therefore I like sharing and modifying recipes.
