DON'T post it. This should go without saying, people. Seriously, do y'all have those friends (and I use the term loosely) who post all that delicious goodness on Facebook or elsewhere yet they NEVER make the yummy edible and bring it to your house so that you can indulge?
The one that I've been begging for since a year or so ago is this one:
San-freaking-gria CAKE! I ran across it at OH Bite IT! and I've been wanting it ever since. No one has picked up the gauntlet that I threw down.
Why do people post this stuff and never make it for you? WHY?
Someone posted this one a month ago:
But she hasn't brought it to my house for my to devour.
And these:
These were posted by a COUSIN. A cousin who hasn't brought one single prepared recipe to my house.
Teachers at school do it too:
Let's not forget the bloggers who post divine recipes on their blogs. Judy at Cranberry Morning is especially guilty of posting and not bringing the prepared dishes to my house. (No matter that she lives way far away...that's not the point.)
Yes, I realize that I could make these recipes myself. But, if people are going to post and make other people WANT these dishes, then there should be a rule: You post you, you make it for ME. Ha!
I also realize that these recipes contain carbs, those little devils that I am no longer ingesting. BUT, if someone else makes the recipe and brings it to me, I'm not really responsible AND, because I am somewhat of a nice person and it would be rude to refuse the gift, I would HAVE to accept and partake. :)
This is especially important now that the holidays are upon us.
Yes, I do indeed have this all figured out.
