sabotage
me: there is a recipe in here from my grandmother’s archnemesis. you know how church ladies have nemeses.
joshua: I can imagine.
me: the best part? my grandmother’s archnemesis’s name. Dottie Bone.
joshua: Holy crap.
me: Dottie Bone’s pineapple cake.
joshua: Do you think it was obtained through skullduggery?
me: no. I bet Dottie gave it to her. I mean, they had to be nice to each other. they were CHURCH LADIES.
joshua: Do you suspect this recipe then? This could be a sabotaged recipe. There’s no suspicious salt or baking soda or soap or anything?
me: this is the recipe in its entirety.
me: Pineapple Cake

Add 4 eggs – 3/4 oil – 1/4 water – 1 box instant pudding mix

joshua: You can almost hear the “You won this round” contempt.

ha!
For a second I wondered why she left out some prep and post stuffs but then I remembered church ladies would already know those basics.
Dottie Bone. Yes. Good name.

Well, yeah, and it’s cake from a box. So not much prep necessary. However, it leaves out 1 tsp. contempt.

….. wait. Is she saying to use 1 dram of cake mix? Maybe that’s the secret sabotage. Your grandma would have to figure out how much a dram is.
(It’s three scruples.)
(I didn’t make that up.)
