[quote=Anonymous]I'll often but not always use a recipe as a guide or an inspiration.  My mom follows recipes to the letter.  She likes to cook from Cooking Light magazine, which will give recommendations for the number of oz. of pasta and she'll get out her scale and measure it out adding or subtracting a piece until it's right, and she'd never read a recipe that said "rotini" and instead use "shells" because that's what she had.  That would be sacrilege.

The other day I was telling my mom about this baked oatmeal recipe I made and how yummy it was and she asked for the recipe, so I pulled it up and printed it and then said "oh, and I used applesauce instead of the oil, and I didn't have any rolled oats so I used steel cut, and I don't like walnuts so we just skipped those, and instead of raisins I dumped in a whole bag of frozen mixed berries, but that was a lot of liquid so I just left out a cup of milk, and you know what, never mind.  I'll just make you some and bring it over, what do you think about apricots?  I was thinking that I'd make it with almonds and apricots next time."[/quote]
