. . . if you can't take the heat, stay out of the cooking and baking forum!!

DU went downhill a long time ago during the pasta/anti-pasta war in that section of the DU forum.
It's no longer safe to handle hot cross buns without wearing oven mitts, and therefore it is no longer safe to give out really old family recipes just because your grandmother was the one that came up with the idea of Twinkies over 15 years before Hostess was even a frickin' company!!

That's the way it was, and that's the way it is always going to be.
