This is really cool. So, using this, I could replace salt with white vinegar! When I first read it I though 'No honey?' was "No money?"
I thought it said no money also. Really, I think it's funnier that way =P
Too bad "ho money" can't be alleviated with a little sugar and water. :)
Yeah, thats what I was thinking lol
Wow, the soy sauce one is really surprising. Great one, Yumi. The sugar/butter/cornstarch are quite useful.
If you don't have buttermilk you can add 1 tbs lemon juice to 1 cup of milk and let sit for 5 minutes
Really?
i would like a poster of this please!
second that. If you click on the image to enlarge, it's actually a big file. I'm planning on printing. Hope that's ok, yumi!
yes! let me know how that goes for you. :)
hmm, had no idea about the salt/lemon juice trick. Cool.
very nice.....
My mom always use to use Apple Sauce instead of vegetable oil when making cakes and stuff. I guess all it did was make the cake a tad bit thicker. Add it to the list???
I always use apple sauce instead of butter or oil in cakes. It's fat free and vegan!
