I just sent in two more recipes via direct email to Jim. I think we all use recipes of someone else's and then we spring board from there. I very,very seldom follow a recipe completely. It just depends on what I have on hand, the mood I'm in as to what I do. That in itself makes it your own. My grandmother's recipes that I make, do not turn out like hers... even when I follow exactly. I think there is something that she called love that she put into it. Bev Taber-Jensen W'61

You are the second person that has taken the time to complain about the recipe I submitted being in a cookbook by someone named Rachael Ray.
Actually, my girlfriend in New York sent me that recipe. My fiance loved it, so I included it. I asked her yesterday where she got the recipe, since there seems to be such a fuss about it, and she said from Oprah. I do not know if she meant the magazine, the show, or the website. She did not know who Rachael Ray was either. Maybe Oprah knows her or has the book???
I am sure everyone that has sent in a recipe got it from somewhere. Not too many people make up their own recipes. They may add their own ingredients or alter the recipe a bit, but I, personally, do not know anyone that makes up and writes their own recipes, and I did not think making up a recipe was a requirement for posting a "favorite".
Didn't Ms. Ray write the book so people would use and trade her recipes? Don't all people who write recipe books expect people to use them? I am not quite sure what the two of you are complaining about? Should I have stuck with Betty Crocker? What is the deal? The other recipe I posted was from my grandmother, if it makes you feel any better, but she probably got it from a cookbook or a friend as well, so what difference does it make?
Thanks a bunch for trying to embarass me in order to make yourselves look like important recipe afectionado homemakers who live in bookstores reading recipe books. You recipe police need to get a life. All I wanted to do is post a "favorite recipe" for you pleasure. I certainly did not claim it was "my" recipe.
You are welcome,
Tanita
