Wow! This seems kind of complicated, but as I go over the instructions; it's just that I'm not used to recipe with so many ingredients. It's not complicated at all - and I have a lot of these items at home. Cool!

Am I some kind of weirdo, whereI Look at these recipes and kind of want to make them for ME? I mean, I would share with Elka.
(well, maybe I wouldn't do banana cheddar. Apple cheddar, though.)
