Not everyone is as willing and able to follow a recipe as the next person. Some folks are truly out there going at it alone. This kind of approach can amount to people completely wiping out in their attempts to successfully follow a recipe. The thing about it is, is that this is complete madness to begin with. The recipes are there for a reason. They’re literally just there to help guide aspiring bakers/cooks on their merry way. These people clearly missed the memo though.
1. “So, golden water then.”
2. “Emma, honey, no.”
3. “Barbara is still wrong, 3 years later.”
4. “Too sweet for Bob.”
5. “Added uncalled for vinegar, and now it tastes like vinegar.”
6. “Just eat the fruit then, Samantha.”
7. “I decided to use your recipe, but my mom’s instructions, and it didn’t work.”
8. “Cream is cream right?”
9. “Doubled the rhubarb, and unsure why it’s tart.”
10. “Oh, oh, dear.”
11. “I added 1.5 tablespoons to my sweet biscuits, and now they taste like salt.”
12. “Today in, not every recipe is for you.”
13. “I don’t think you should eat that.”
14. “I baked these buns at a lower temperature, but how do I bake them at the right temperature?”
Matt has spent over the last 8 years as both a writer and editor, working in Seattle and Brooklyn, where he is now based. He loves escaping the tirelessly fast pace of the “Mad Apple” that is NYC by taking walks and runs through parks where he’s able to catch up on the latest tea about society from the city’s ever chatty, always hungry, occasionally maniacal, pigeons. They always have a lot to say. When he’s not taking his urban nature strolls, or dutifully combing the deepest rabbit holes of the internet to find the content that’s worth sinking your mind’s teeth into, he’s likely holed up at a dark-lit dive bar with a new book and/or some friends, or just easily he could be on the hunt for the next addition to his steadily growing plant family.
