Can I get the recipe?
October 29, 2008
I don’t bake and rarely cook. If I do, you are guaranteed it will be something strange (that only my friend Greta will eat) or run of the mill boring: fried egg inside a sheet of seaweed, a taco pizza on a corn crust (actually, that was pretty tasty), or spaghetti with meat sauce.
If I really, really like something you made I may ask you for the recipe. Why? Good question because you know I am not going to make it. My only hope is that I can get Josh to make it.
Asking for the recipe is really the Jen Grauer secret code for “That tastes so good that I want more. Will YOU make more and share it with me? Please. Pretty pleeeeeeease.”
After dinner at a friend’s last night–where I did not get around to making anything and brought Whole Foods made stuff instead–I was given a homemade oatmeal cookie. I took in order to be polite but I usually pass on oatmeal cookies. They are fine but let’s be honest, they aren’t chocolate chip cookies. Before my first bite I was warned that it was salty, was made with only half the butter and now had the nickname of a “breakfast cookie”. Great.
OMG! It was so good! I was given three more in a baggie to take home (just over 12 hours ago) and have already gobbled up the last one.
Hey Rory, can I get the recipe?!

Rory can give you his “secret” cookie recipe…I believe it’s one unique ingredient that gives it that flavor! (and no, it’s not salt)
Do you know of a good recipe sharing website? Oooh, do we have a new idea for a business?

Is it the $100/lb raisins?
Will the “recipe” come USPS, FedEx, or UPS or will I have to wait until next Tuesday after my work out to “get the recipe”?
