If someonme has had a problem I know it's maybe something I need to be aware of and make adjustments. <br /><br />The only things I've noticed occasionally here are typos which I email you about if they make a difference (though you'd think that people would guess that you don't need 34 cups of sugar in a cake and that just <em>maybe</em> it's actually 3/4 of a cup!). I sometimes write that I added this or that and if I had a problem I'd write about that because maybe you have an explanation that could help me and someone else when they make the dish.<br /><br />The recipe feedbacks that make me laugh are the ones where the dish is say a fish stew and they write that they are allergic to fish and could they substitute chicken/meat/tofu whatever. Why are they looking at a fish dish in the first place? Just search for a chicken stew - there are a million recipes out there!

Oftimes it can make the difference between someone trying something that works or wasting a lot of expensive ingredients. However, I have discovered that when I leave negative feedback about certain recipes I have tried on certain sites, they delete my comments. To me that is so wrong! Perhaps my experience could help someone else. To me its not about numbers, its about people trying my recipes and their experiences in doing so, good or bad! xoMarie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-36268079430488899002018-01-08T11:44:55.372+00:002018-01-08T11:44:55.372+00:00I'm always happy to try your recipes as I know...I'm always happy to try your recipes as I know from long experience that they work and are always delicious. I can't think of any of your recipes I've tried that did not work out. I think it is also helpful for anyone who visits the recipe to read feedback from someone who tried it. I know on most sites I often read feedback just to see if the recipes worked or if there were modifications that appealed to me (like you, I'm a tweaker!)

The scones were light and flakey and I really loved the addition of sugar on top (I've never done that before, but will be adopting it from now onwards). Another winner!Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04088355577823930786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-59197362020403493122018-01-07T05:50:29.692+00:002018-01-07T05:50:29.692+00:00You'll have to bake them Carol!

These look delicious. It's hard to find currants here but sultanas might be nice or anything that would meld with the orange. Actually, it's the bready part that matters most on something like this -- getting it light and flaky. I'm such a brown sugar nut -- that sounds so good atop the egg wash!
