Substitutions

Lots of times you have to substitute stuff. Otherwise nothing would get done.


Recipe:

2 game hens (substituted 1 chicken)
1 onion (substituted 2 garlic cloves)
Lime (substituted lemon)
Smoked paprika (substituted one crushed candy cigarette & a dash of Tabasco)
1/2 cup honey (substituted 1/4 cup honey plus a small drawing of a bee)

      A little known fact: drawing is a great substitute for just about everything.

      Umm. Poetic license? It's no fun being truthful all of the time. Anyway, it's the internet & nobody really believes it, right?

      There is a logic to it. Thanks for seeing that! Especially if I added chipotle tabasco to boost the smokiness of the cigarette.:)

    OK, whatever it was you were trying to cook? you cooked something completely different. and really? you have candy cigarettes just sitting around? I didn't think they made those anymore.

      Most actual recipes are over-rated. As evidence for that are the thousands of comments left by cooks who tinker with online recipes. And then there is Douglas Adams:

      "I seldom end up where I want to go, but I almost always end up where I need to be." (To bee!! hahaha I just saw that!)

      Candy cigarettes are still made, but they're lame:

      I must admit that I haven't had a candy cigarette in years. I've completely given them up, long ago, in my dark past. This post is mostly a lie.
