Nope, my kidlette is frighteningly intelligent. She wouldn't have
purchased the 1% in the first place.

Busted! I don't know what fenugreek is, and I don't give a rip.
Fennel, on the other hand, is a dear, dear friend.

As we tell new trainees at work:

"The only stupid question is the one you don't ask!
We would rather you ask stupid questions than make stupid mistakes..."

My mom was that way. I'd ask how to spell something, and she'd direct
me to the dictionary. In my very early teens, I requested an
unabridged dictionary for Christmas. I was a weird kid.

What do you think was going through that person's head??? Both spices begin
with "fen", so they're related? Sure. They both come from plants.

It tends to intimidate and scare of newbies.

I wonder what would happen if, instead of one shake of salt on these french
fries, I tried two.

I was talking about the Oregano dude dude!

I've not seen the OP pop back in.
Wonder if we scared them off? ;-)

This was a pretty intense thread!

No, just well indoctrinated by Mom.

>How many cookbooks do you own? :-D

Lots. Most have never been, and will never be, opened. I've been
giving some of them as gifts, since they're virtually brand new.

I pretty much stick with good ol' Betty Crocker. However, the South
Beach diet book and cookbook (2 separate voumes) are wonderful, and
I'll be using those as my primary sources of recipes. Even if you're
not doing the diet, the recipes look quite good.
