Hilarious!

No, she doesn't accuse me of that. She just has to complain about every
fat containing ingredient.

Oh, and she gets irritated when I bring dinner over (because she had
surgery or whatever) and her kids like my mac and cheese or whatever
better. That's when she asks for the recipe and then asks if she really
has to use x ingredient. I just tell her (each and every time) that I
have no idea, but she can try it but not to count on it tasting the
same. She then says she wants to sub but doesn't want it to taste
different. Good luck I say. It's so funny that we have to go through
this every time. Really, do they think the answer is going to magically
change?

Once she brought me brownies made with canned black beans pureed instead
of butter. That was quite scary. I can't remember the odd ingredient
in the oatmeal cookies but they were dry and dreadful. She insists you
can't taste the difference but we clearly have different taste buds. :-)
