zxyggrhyn Aug 27, 2008	Very Nice. I thought too of a recipe. I was clueless, I ain't a chef. But I realized that it was a trick puzzle. If it ain't because of that, I wouldn't know.
katjojo Aug 27, 2008	You got me!!
emu77alu02 Aug 27, 2008	That was a good one! Even though I knew it was a trick teaser, I still tried to figure out what kind of food she was making, since the title said "strange recipe."

rockstar1009 Aug 29, 2011	I'm on a roll with these trick ones, but this one took me a few read-throughs to make sure there weren't patterns in the words (initial letters, syllables, etc.), then the answer popped out at me. Thanks for a fun teaser!
