    Nice recipes but Jeanne is correct. The recipes are not posted correctly and it is obvious that proof reading wasn’t done.
    Amy, I think it is you that is being unfair.

    Jeanne are you menstruating? Criticism works when it’s constructive.

    You have your dessert recipe and potato recipe mixed together. Could you please separate these two and represent them as two separate recipes? Currently each contains parts of the other.
    Interesting but confusing.
    Good luck with that.
