She's pretty famous for leaving ingrediments out of things. I can tell you first hand that pumpkin pie without sugar LOOKS LIKE pumpkin pie. But it does not TASTE LIKE pumpkin pie.
The place we went to for thanksgiving this year made pumpkin pie without spices. "for the kids". bleh....Like paste.

My mom made grilled cheese sandwiches without taking the plastic off the cheese slices. Took me a while to convince her something was wrong. My wife topped that by making french onion soup and forgetting to take the wrapper off the cheese slice she floated on top. Took me even longer to convince her something was not right.
Best wishes SR.
The tangents are moot.
Set the bar low. Crawl under it.
Food
My mother once (in her early cooking days) made a pumpkin pie with the intention of impressing a guest. She opted out of dessert, and left my father and guest to eat it politely in spite of the two tablespoons of ginger vs. 1/2 teaspoon it was supposed to have.

Well truth be told at thanksgiving I put cayenne in my pumpkin pie instead of chile powder (chile powder is GOOD). It needed mucho whipped cream but it eventually kind of grew on me. I would do it on purpose again, but not for the kiddos.
Snarl snarl.
Got to this one late. SRL, my thoughts are with you, man. Hope you've got some good news.
A little late for the party, but I managed to listen for a few minutes on Christmas Eve.

Thanks again folks. I hope it was a pretty good party. I appreciated it very much.
The news came back mostly positive. VERY positive in one until-today worrisome aspect: the evil was not detected in my spine nor brain. I shall focus on that happiness today. Still indefinite medicines and tests and bleh in the near future... but not the super duper gnarly ones.
No, my hair has not fallen out. Yes, I may chop it off anyway. Is ok; I had chopped hair by choice dating back to 2000, the last time I had medically-related baldness... I only started growing it out again in 2011.
No, I am not cooking meth like Mr White.
Yes, I have taken to tracking my walks in my running log. It's my log, shut up.
No, I do not turn into the hulk when I get angry. Nor can I cling to the sides of buildings like spiderman.
Yes, the pudding is delicious.
And once again Mr. Wizard (aka: Stevie Ray) explains the internet.
Glad to hear this! Thanks for the update.
