Chatterbox: In This Month's Issue

Admin, I was

Admin, I was just reading some of the recipes on this site, and in the almond fruit float recipe, it says to put in one tablespoon of almond flavoring. Is that right? I mean, it seems like kind of a lot...

I'm not sure, Brynne. How many servings does the recipe make? I suggest you try with one teaspoon and see how that tastes. Then add more if you like. It may depend upon how strong a flavor you want. I like almond, but I've never tried that recipe. If you do try it, let us know how it goes. Thanks.

1 tablespoon of almond flavoring would be digusting unless you were making a huge amount, like a gallon or two.  Most recipes would need 1/2 to 1 tsp; almond flavoring is usually quite strong.

I agree. I'd say start with a little bit and taste it. I'll see if someone can check the original recipe.

For example, remember the time Martia's dad posted on the Pie Wars, with his "pie row maniacs"?

Hee, hee, no!! :):) Whenever I'm on at the same time as somebuggy (like I see that they posted 8 seconds ago) I change my name to 'Hi -------' and just post ':D:D', but when it eventually gets posted, it gets all changed around as says something like ' "Hi -----!! :D:D" by PP'. :):)
