It's a year since I started blogging and 6 months ago I started my google ads and I was totally amazed when Googles sent me a cheque. Wow...though it's a small sum but I'm really happy about it.
I cannot tolerate nasty comments anymore and I just wonder why people hated me so much when I literally helped in answering questions and giving out free recipes? I would like to thank this anonymous person who actually woke me up. This person said I'm arrogant and again the subject of being rich pops up again..I wonder if it's a sin. Anyway, she also mentioned that: typical stupid rich people like you ought to just disappear from this earth.
Please do not come to my blog if you hate me....Thank you!!

If only I can have a bite!!!!
me tooooooooo!
funnily enough, this is EXACTLY what i am snacking on now!
and i'm not just eating ANY red bean bun. i am eating this FLOWER SHAPED red bean bun! but no green tea.
could you please share how to make the flower shape??
Hi Aunty,
The red bean look yummy. U make them, too? Where can I get them? Thanks.
Hi,
I've tried baking bread (dough) a no. of times using the breadmachine. However, it always come out slightly brownish(tried different brand of bread flour). All your bread looks white. Please share if there are any secret skill? or any specific brand of bread flour use? Thanks.
Hi anonymous,
I can't understand why your bread turns brownish after baking. Are you using wet yeast? Bicarbonate of soda also makes the bread turn brown and I hope you didn't use this.
rgds
Hi anonymous,
Yes, I made these buns myself.
rgds
Hi tjiana,
what a coincidence. Just wrap the dough with red bean paste and seal it tightly. Roll it flat on the table, then use a knife to cut 5 slits at the side but don't cut through to the centre. The centre must not be cut through.

Aunty,

Hi Aunty Yochana,
Am so sad to read this latest updates from you. While am new into blogging and baking, I am very inspired of your achivement and admire experience as well as your willingness to share with new baker like me...Well as I can understand how you feel about those nasty comments received and I have read about the same feedback from other who blog...sigh!
Well, I am really going to miss you and your posting but am still feel very great of your advice for last few days...Pls take care and keep in touch if you don't mind...My email address is cyndi_see@yahoo.com
My dream is to perfect my baking and cooking and to cook nice food for people that I loved... very small woman :) In fact I take you as my metor and "Idol" in this aspect. So, don't feel mad over those nasty people and always remember there are people like me going to miss you !
Oya Aunty,
I forget to ask you for your email address if you don;t mind.
Pls email me at cyndi_see@yahoo.com
Hi Maha and Cyndi,
don't worry, it's till the same except that I will give recipes to certain ppl only. Just email me and I will email the recipes to you fellows. Meantime I will help to answer questions.
thank you so much for your support.

Hi Lucy,
Thanks for posting all the past recipes... it's sad to hear that u've been getting all those nasty comments and even sadder still to know that such (nasty) ppl exist!
But i've to congratulate you on having a successful blog... 'coz only when a person is successful, that it will make other's envious/jealous of yr achievements.
Take care and we'll keep in contact. *wink*
Dear Aunty Yochana
Sad to read you latest update, will miss your posting. Don't get yourself too upset over such nasty person.
The person who make this remark "typical stupid rich people like you ought to just disappear from this earth" should be ashamed of herself. She has no right to judge a person unless she is God.
Please take care and thanks for offering us your advise by email.
Regards
HSL
hi aunty!! really sorry to hear about the nasty comments. my mum and i have been loyal followers of ur blog and the recipes posted have been a great help to both of us! could u give me ur email add? coz i'm unable to find it in ur blog. my email add is ongwantheng@hotmail.com. thanks so much! God bless!:)
Hi Baking fiend aka Ida,
I'm truly blessed to have a friend like you and many many others who became friends with me.
Like what you have just said...when you are successful, ppl tend to be jealous of you. I'm really not worried who comes to visit my blog though. With Googles counting the number of visits per month, I have about more than 80,000 visiting my blog monthly.
Of course, we will keep in contact.
Take care..Lucy
Hi cyndi and HSL,
My email address:
yochana2001@hotmail.com
HSL, I will still answer any questions through my blog and not through email. It's only the recipes that I will send via email. I think it's unfair to give nasty ppl all the recipes and still get bombard by them.
Thanks for your support.
rgds
Hi Aunty
Your lovely bakes hv been most inspiring and I love to visit your blog daily to give myself a virtual feast. It's sad and pathetic that some nasty ppl actually spend so much energy to pass such virulent remarks abt a generous person like u. I truly appreciate your kindness in sharing your recipes thus far, it means a lot to me who lives overseas. I will boldly take up your generous offer to "ma fan" you with future recipe requests .
Cheers.
Melbourne Gal
Hi Yochana,
I've been reading your blog with interest and it saddens me that anyone can post such a comment. Always remember that 'GOD' is great and may you be rewarded for being so kind to share your recipes and give proper advice to those in need.
Don't ever give up - a lot of people love reading your blog actually.
Take care!
Hi Aunty, sad to see that you are one of the victims to those nasty remarks.
Just want to say thank you for all your advices as my bakes now no longer look or taste like rocks ( that's whay my hubby used to say so), though more practise are needed.
Aunty, if those mail contents cause you undue stress/hurt, you can report to cops. I'm not sure how this type of situation is handled in SG though.
From a psychological viewpoint , this is a usual and normal remark/behaviour from one with some mental concerns. He/She could be/in need of medical attention. Aunty, don't be too bothered by them.
I will continue drop by your site and hopefully one of these days, my bakes will taste or looks like at least 85% of yours. :)
LS
Aunty Yochana,
I visit your blog everyday and I really enjoy doing it. Sad to listen to what has happened. Do not bother about the nasty comment, that is the only one and the rest of us do appreciate you very much.
Thank you for sharing all the recipes and as I told you before, you are kind and generous.

hi Aunty,

Aunty,
What brand oven do you use to bake cakes .. breads eg ?
Sun lik don't seem to answer the phone, what are thier opening hrs ?
The baking tins cheaper there compared to phoon huat ?
Thanks
Maha
This is from one of your hundreds loyal reader..
I'm going to miss collecting recipes from your blog..your tips and advises have help me perfect my baking and cooking skills..
Thank you Lucy.
Aunty,
For doubts :
1. Is there a diff btw 9" spring form tin & 9" round cake tin ?
2. What is 7" square tray ? Isit a tin or tray ?
3. What are disgestive biscuit n where can I buy them from ?
4. Whats a neutral mousse powder ?
5. What cake rings are used for chilled blueberry cheese gateau ?
6. Lastly, usualy the baking tray don't indicate 10x14 size, instead it states xx X xx X xx [xx = numbers]. As such hw wld i know the size is 10 x 14 or 9 x 14 ?
Paiseh n very sorry for asking silly questions ..
Thanks a million aunty
Maha :)
dear lucy
we respect ur decision foor not going to post recipe anymore... its really sad that those nasty comment should coem to a nice blog like yours.. nonetheless we will come and see your yummy pixz everyday =)

Hi Lucy,
Sorry to hear about this nasty people come knocking on your door again.
Thank you again for being so nice & generous and thanks for sharing.
Take care and have a nice day.
aunty yochana
I am a big fan of yours and I am sorry to know the nasty remarks you received.
In fact, I have always been buggin you about giving classes as i really admire your skills.
I will continue to come to your blog and give you my support!
Thanks everyone for your very strong support. I really appreciate it.
rgds
Dear Aunty
I always check your blog site every night to feast my eyes at your creations. Its sad that there are people who said such unkind words. Please don't put it to heart and love to see you continuously giving us good cooking knowledge. I have many times tried your recipes and glad that often I managed obtain good results. Many thanks to you Aunty, from AK
Hi dogbaby_25,
(1) Yes there is a difference between a springform tin and a normal tin. For springform is a loose bottom pan which helps you to remove the cake easily...especially cheesecake.
(2) 7" sq. is a square tin.
(3) Digestive biscuits - McVities Biscuits. Buy from any supermarket.
(4) Neutral mousse powder can buy from Phoon Huat. It's to set your mousse.
(5) For chilled blueberry cheesecake, use a 9" round cake ring.
(6) For sizes, use a ruler to measure the trays.
rgds
Dear Aunty,
It's so sad that you have received those nasty comments. I really appreciate all the recipes and advices that you have generously dished out during your year of blogging. You are so kind.
I will continue to support ur blog in future even without any recipe posting. It’s enough to just drool at the pics of your lovely daily bakes.
Please take care.
Regina
sorry to hear about the nasty comments. I understand exactly how you feel when you did nothing wrong as I was in that position before. But am glad that you will continue to bake and share your passion with others. Take care.
Hi Aunty Yo
Sorry to hear that again. Those ppl must have nothing to do, only knows how to criticize and comment on ppls. I really felt ashame for them. They should disappear in this earth and not you.
Dont worry Aunty Yo... you still have our support!!
Regards
Irene
Aunty, referring to Dogbaby's qn on Sun Lik's opening hours, I think they are opened up to 6.30 pm from Mon to Sat and close on Sun.
I got the info from the shop some time ago. Hope it's still valid now.
Regina
Hi dogbaby_25 and Regina,
I forgot to reply about Sun Lik.
Yes Sun Lik closes at 6.30 to 7.00 p.m. Please be there before 6.30 cos she will start closing. These few days her shop will be closed. Business will resume on Monday - 4th June.
rgds
Oh dear! Sorry to hear about the nasty remarks, Aunty Yo :(
I don't understand why people can actually say nasty and hurtful things like that. Is it simply out of jealousy? Or deprivation??
I respect your decision, but like the rest, I'm gonna miss your lovely postings of recipes here. I sure have learnt a lot from you even though I'm still quite amateurish in making all your beautiful goodies (takes time to practise, but time is what I lack!).
Well, if you really don't mind the numerous requests for recipes via email, then I'll buay-keh-ki and email you whenever I see something I'd like to learn from you :) Thanks for still offering this avenue for us to learn, i really appreciate your kind heart :)
Sayang-sayang & hugz.
Hi bluecrystal.
Yeah...buay ke ki - no problem for me.
this nasty person is still sending nasty comments until now. I just received another one from her. It's really very very nasty... anyway, I treat her as a bad woman-mental case.
rgds
Hi Yochana
I wonder what's the problem with that anonymous. Anyway, I totally respect your decision and you have my support too!. Heez. But I could foresee that you will be "bombarded" with emails requesting for recipes... ==> okie, i'm guilty, coz I will be one of them. *blush blush*
Your blog is definitely a great success. You can tell by the Google ad thingy. Dun be bothered by such nuisance ya? Keep those pictures coming in... Let's us all drool over them. Ha ha...
Dear Lucy,
I am really sadden by what is happening to you. There are a lot of mean people out there. They are just jealous of your talent, your achivement and your generousity. But remember a few might hate you but a whole bunch of us love you and appreciate what you are doing in your blog. I learned a lot from you and have to visit your blog at least twice a day ;)
I know is hard to ignored nasty people and comment like that but I really hope you will continue doing what you love.
Take care

hi aunty yochana. i wonder who is so evil to be post nasty comments. but i really enjoy looking at the things you baked and i actually make it a point to visit your site everyday! :D but i'm too busy nowadays to bake so maybe you'll start receiving emails from me at the end of the year (: hope to hear from you soon!

Dear Aunty,
Iwas shocked after reading what had happened in your blog. Gosh! I wonder who's this shameful nasty person that could actually exist in this world! i'm sure she'll get what in return!!! Aunty, don't bother too much much about this sort of rubbish people. I'm sure God knows what you're doing is totally right here.
I'm glad that you'll still keep your blog going and will send recipes via email. I'm so so worried, coz I really what you're doing and it's all GREAT!
I truly believe in you! I'm thankful for all the help you've given me. Keep up the good work! May God Bless You Always...
Love,

Thank you.
Dear Aunty Yochana,
I read your blog EVERYDAY since I chanced and tried your marble cake recipe. I have been wondering how to get in touch with you and learn some of the wonderful cakes.My mom was a great baker and cook but I never managed to learn from her and she has passed on.
Think that is what happens when we open ourselves up on the Internet. Experienced in at a certain local forum too. Don't worry,you can see that you have us behind you.
Do you teach classes? I would love to keep in touch and learn if you could email. Thank you and keep doing what you do!
Hi Aunty,
I enjoy reading your blog everyday. Please do not let those nasty comments bother you. Your baked goods are always a joy to look at! Thanks for sharing with us.
Thank you for sharing so much with us, Aunty Yochana. Take care and don't let those nasty buggers bother you. Thank you for being an inspiration.
Lisa, one of your many, many fans.
Hi Lucy,
*hugs to u*
ur blog and bakes have been a wonderful place for me esp during days when i cldn't eat during my chemo treatment.. thx for being so generous with ur advice and help
Dear Yochana,
Congrats on getting the google check, you have a wonderful site so you totally deserve it.
Thank you for this and all the other wonderful recipes you've posted in the past. I can't imagine why people have to be so mean and nasty. I always start the day off with a cup of coffee and Auntie Yochana cake pictures. Even hubby sits with me on weekends and we salivate over your bakings. He would always say "why can't you do that"? My excuse would always be "we don't carry that ingredient in the US honey" lol.
Please don't bother with those nasty people for they have no life and are probably just jelous. I'm sadden by your decision not to post anymore recipes but I understand your reasonings. I will still visit your site several times a day.
Have a good day,
Bridget
My dear Lucy,
Tell me why am I crying in my heart when I read about your decision to stop posting recipes? You have been more than a therapeutist to me. I visited your blog everyday, sometimes twice in a day. Your postings always makes me look forward to tomorrow and keeps me going on all the time. Your strong will to bake everything new each day inspires me to put aside all my hardship being a woman and enjoy every moment of it. Sometimes, I feel so connected to you, like a virtual online-mother. Nevertheless, I will continue to support your blog.
God Bless You!!

Hello Aunty Yochana
I have been visiting your blog for a few months now but never commented.
I am sad to hear of your decision but at the same time I have to respect it.
It's a shame that people have caused you to stop doing something you love. What right have they got to put you down for doing something so generous which is inspiring for many of us.
I appreciate the time and effort you have put into sharing your recipes.
God bless you richly.

Dear Aunty,
I actually wanted to post a comment but I'm quite 'cheong hei' sometimes so thought I'd just drop you a mail!
First of all, thank you SO MUCH for sharing the joy of baking online! I visit your blog everyday without fail to see what baking adventures you've embarked upon for the day. I know you've probably heard that many many times but that doesn't make it any less true for me. Sometimes when there are no new posts I keep going back every hour or so and you've never let me down.. I really think I would get withdrawal symptoms if I don't see new posts each day lor.. Hehehe..
That said, I just wanted to console you on the nasty remarks you've been getting.
Honestly, I don't think you should take their comments personally. Why? Because...
Assuming that your 80 000 hits a month are unique, that means you get 2667 people visiting your blog everyday. If you get 13 people who leave hate messages for you everyday, that's only 0.5% of your readership. Don't forget about the 99.5% who still love you!
When I was working as a cashier in McDonalds part time I learned that the good customers will come and go and I won't give them much thought but 1 customer making a big hoo-ha can make me hate serving customers and wonder why I have to work so hard for so little money. But actually its just the odd case every now and then.
Oh, and I don't know how being rich is a bad thing but I'm glad you are. Many rich people keep their money to themselves and that's okay because its their money, their right, they don't have any obligation to do charity. But you use up a lot of your money in baking supplies, going to classes, your time in blogging and giving free advice and then you give away your bakes for free some more. Most people would have set up a business to gather profits by now (actually aunty, i think you could earn a lot if you gave lessons and sold your bakes lor). If you didn't have money, you wouldn't be able to do all this.
Also, your entries are very inspiring. When I introduced my mum to your blog, she was like a kid let loose in a candy store! She was so amazed by everything... and that's exactly how I felt when I first chanced upon your blog. Now she even wants to bring me to Singapore to see see Pantry Magic!!
I guess what i'm trying to say is, don't get discouraged by those malicious remarks. All this while you've been the 'bigger person' by 'entertaining' the detractors and I really respect you for that.
I always see your recipes and say to myself 'must try! must try!' but in the end never try (hehehe..) but in the future if want to try also no recipe. Nevertheless, thank you so much for graciously posting recipes before this!
Lastly, I hope you don't let anyone dim your passion for baking! =)

So sorry to hear that you will stop posting recipes. Your baking has been an inspiration for me. Please continue with your good work.
Hi Aunty,
I'm so sorry to hear of the evil comments.
I've been hooked to your blog ever since i chanced upon it few months ago and I always look forward to browsing it almost every nite after work. I've even recommended it to my friends who are also keen on baking.
I reckon only those who are passionate about baking/cooking will really appreciate your works and your generosity in sharing your recipes and experiences. I've tried a few of it and thumbs up!
I'm very sad that now there'll be no more recipe posting. I'll miss it dearly. If you do not mind, may I have the honour to be included in your mailing list for recipes? My email is wildswan6@hotmail.com
Thanks & yes, dun stop the posting of your daily bakes! It's a great inspiration for all of us who treasure it!
Take care,

Hi Aunty Yochana,
I'm among your 80,000 monthly fans, I pop-in to your blog almost everyday to see what you've baked.
Hope you wont let those nasty remarks gets to you. Forgive them, cos they themselves are pathetic..
You are truly talented in baking. You are my idol!!!
Take care,

Thia happened to another blogger also, I always searching recipes from this blog "Taz in the kitchen", but something happen, she quit blogging because some nasty email, I am really sad this thing happen to you also, why people are so jealous of other people talent, you are so talented and kind person who is nice sharing recipes to others, I am your chinese indonesian lady fan, I am really sad, I add a letter from Taz kitchen from her blog, It's time to quit blogging...
Dear Readers and Friends,
I have finally arrived at the decision to quit blogging altogether, for reasons best known to myself and a few of my cyber friends.
I will, however, continue with my hobby to try new recipes for my three dear ones at home, post food photos in my photo album and MAYBE the food forums (with links to the sources only) - a hobby which will take up much less of my time, effort and most important of all - zero responsiblity.
The entries for this blog will be permanent for as long as blogspot doesn't forfeit my account.
Thanks for your support on this blog.
actually i don't think u shud stop posting recipe . In fact if u didnt say i even thought u created this blog to share your recipe with others and also to keep track of the recipes so that in future u will look back at those memories. Don't bother the minority they are more happy to see u oblige to them when u stop posting your recipe.
I ever try to ask one of your recipe but i check never updated but it's okie cos now i also forgotten which one i wan hehehe cos too many new one i also blur.
Really hope u don't bother about those nasty remarks cos in this world sure got ups and downs and we all support u so don't feel bad about what u do cos what u did is a noble thing to be done . HONESTLY from the bottom of my truthful heart. Thanks a million

Hi Aunty,
Its been quite a few days since I really leave any comments (but I still continue to browse through all photo before bedtime ... its a habit now).
Really sad to hear that you are not posting any recipes here. I had been trying your recipes (though not all, but still trying).
Thank you for your generousity and effort in sharing and tying out those recipes all this while.
Will email to you for recipes in future then ...
Do not be bothered with those nasty comments and get yourself upset! Believed a lot of people out here have benefitted from your help, advises and feedbacks all this while.
Thank you,

Hi Aunty Yochana,
Your blog is in one of my favourite food blogs. I visit your blog at least once a week. I really appreciate your effort to share your wonderful bakings with everyone and also your generous spirit in sharing recipes and baking tips. Please do continue to share your bakings as I am sure your blog is an inspiration to all who are interested in baking. And for those people with nasty comments, just brush them aside. Your time would be better spent trying out new recipes :)

Hi Lucy
You have so many fans and supporters in us - dont let the remarks of such a deranged and mentally retarded and ungrateful person affect you.
All of us have learnt so much from you through your blog and you are ever so generous with your tips, advices and recipes - including the daily feast for our eyes....LOL!
We can never thank you enough...
Hi Aunty Yochana,
Don't bother too much about the nasty comments. They are just JEALOUS because you are successful. Cheer up k.
Your supporter,

Hi Aunty Yochana,
I'm disgusted to see the words that that arrogant threw at you. It is really a shame that such nasty people exist. It's been some while that I visit your blog and I still do it everyday to admire your daily bakes. I have tried most of your mooncakes recipes and a chiffon cake that I have managed to do them successfully. Many thanks for your tips (that you always gave by replying me promptly at each question) and recipes, and please don't be discouraged. Your talent inspired and encouraged me to give a try to most of the recipes. The very first time I touched a cake mould and batter, the pasty was ruined. If it wasn't for your generous advices, I would have never been motivated enough to try myself again. I have a lot of respect for you and learnt so much, I just feel sorry to hear that somebody who can't even assume himself/herself keep stabbing you with harsh comments.
Hope that won't have diminished your love of baking.
rgards and take care,
Keysia

Hi Aunty Lucy,So sad to hear you are harassed by nasty comments. We are so lucky to have you to share your recipes n guide us with our baking n answering our questions. Lucky you will still be posting your daily bakes cos your blog is a therapy for alot of us. It simply de-stress me from my daily work. Intend to make the talam suji for my family gathering next sat and wonder if you can share the recipe.Hope to meet u in future IK gatherings. Take care, stay happy n beautiful.Warmest regards,Anc.
It's a blessing to be able to bake beautifully. It is big heart which makes sharing unreservedly that makes you so special.
Nasty comments? It's part and parcel of life and growing up I guess. Nothing is perfect in this world, we just live by our own conscience. The truth will come to light and you will prevail!!

Hi Lucy,
Dont let these sore losers deter you from doing what you love and do best. We all love your cooking and enjoy it very much,..I have nothing but awe and admiration for your work and thank you for your generosity in sharing them with us. Thank you again. :)
The ones who write these poison pen comments are nothing in this world, they have nothing ( no life , no friends , no happiness) but misery and all they have or think they have is some few minutes of power by being nasty to someone under anonymity of the internet.
I HOPE THE COWARDLY LOSER READS THIS!!!!
Do continue to spread your sunshine Lucy.
P.S.Would have been in earlier if some idiot hadnt wiped off my whole computer.
Dear Aunty,
I've been busy working that I haven't visited for so long until today, and I was really shocked and saddened by this incident. I know a lot of people have given you much support, and I'll probably sound like I'm merely reiterating what others have said already, but you have been really inspiring and I respect your decision. Sometimes when dealing with nasty people, enough is enough. There is much more I'll like to say but I don't really know how to put it in words. I hope you'll continue to obtain much joy from your baking as I will browsing your blog.
Sincerely, Jam
Hi Yochana,

Hi Aunty Yochana
I'm in Australia and have loved reading your blog ever since I found it a few months ago. It's wonderful to see all the lovely things you bake. It's one of the small highlights of my day and makes me smile. Keep on blogging. (Richness is a state of mind.)

Hi Lucy
You're much bigger than Ben Hur! You know in your heart that you're a talented, generous & loving human being & no one can take away from you. The world wld be a better place w/out those ignorant, spiteful & cowardless anonymous b****** (not even fit to share the air we breathe). Ignore them & they're not worth mentioning further.
Just wanted to say thank you for your generosity in keeping this blog going & not closing it down (like Tazz). There's not a lot of women like you around in this world who believes in sharing & not expecting anything in return.
However I do envisage that your email a/c will be working o/time to cope with recipe requests (as I'll be one of them too).
God bless (He knows) & keep baking.
Rgds.

Dear Aunty Yochana,
This is the first time I'm writing to you though I have been your fan since past few months when I happened to log into your blog. I have been very impressed by your pretty cakes and your generosity of sharing your good recipes. You have done your best to share your work and I just want to say a big THANK YOU to you.
It came as a big shock when I realised you have been disturbed by some bad people. Please don't feel discouraged as there are surely some people who are too free and jealous of others' achievement. Please just remember that there are many more silent fan like me who is greatly benefited by your sharing.
I would like to be included on your Address Book to receive your recipes on your lovely cakes/kueh/pastries. Though I may not been able to bake all the items for the time being as I'm working overseas right now but I would love to keep a collection of your recipes for future use when I can have my own kitchen.
By the way my name is Peng An and my email address is:
Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you once again and may you have many more wonderful time baking.

Aunt Yochana,
I came across your blog when I was searching for some recipes. I believe that there are many out there who appreciate what you have done. I am a girl who has been away from home for many years. Reading your blog encourage me to try baking some of the foods that I miss so much. I earnestly hope that you will continue what you are doing. You have been an inspiration for me.
hey i was just wondering where u get green tea powder?? Can you get that in any supermarket or does it have to be an asian market? And if it is in the supermarket, like what category does it go into (eg snacks, cake mix). and is the bread flour the flour u use to make bread? hopefully u can answer my qs.
hi anonymous,
you can buy green tea powder and bread flour from Sun Lik at 33, Seah street.

I've only recently come upon your site and everything looks amazing. It's a pity that there are people who do not appreciate it as much as the rest of us. I've been looking for a recipe for a a durian, pandan, or taro cake for my mom's birthday and came across your nine layer durian cake. It looks fantastic. I was wondering if you would be willing to email me the recipe.
