Good Advice

[Catherine]

You write notes on your hand! I sometimes do that. Sometimes you just need to be sure you remember something.
I certainly need to write down lizard feedings. They don't eat every day and they don't eat the same thing every time. I can't be sure I would remember things right.

I guess cook books are just a giant pile of cooking notes, so that we can make the recipe come out the same each time.
I did a favourite recipe from memory, but I added twice the amount of shortening. It was more like pastry than biscuits, but it was too much like biscuits to be good pastry.
Three cheers for notes.
