Are You a Modifier?

I have a bad habit of modifying recipes.

I have good intentions of following word for word,

ingredient for ingredient but,

I  am a rebel and always question authority.

I will read a recipe and think about what other

things would be wonderfully paired with the main body.

Yeah.

And, I'm a cookbook note jotter-downer so I can remember

what the heck I did then I write a note afterward

in relation to the taste and suggestions for next time.

Gonna be for some good reading for someone, someday.

My latest rebellious act was taking a basic

 white cake recipe and tweaking it by 

adding some yummy extract 

and a little of this and a little of that.

Off the charts delicious.

And, of course, I did the same for the frosting.

Almond and cherry = true love.

I shall hold tight, this wonderful combination.

I think it just might make me famous. 

{Just kidding. Okay, I'm not.}
