Pamela Very well said. I do the same thing; very rarely do I follow a recipe, and I do a lot of substitutions. I think it just takes: practice, experience, and some creativity.

If you are missing messages you might find them there or in whatever discard box your mail client has. I am surprised at what I find there sometimes. As for recipes that have foods you are not able to eat, I find that most recipes are very forgiving. I never met a recipe I couldn't alter in some way or other either because I didn't have an ingredient, I didn't like one or couldn't eat one. In fact, it has gotten so it is rare that I follow a recipe exactly as written. My triumphs are greater than my disasters, and even those give me things to talk about. Sometimes when I see a recipe I would never make myself, I copy it down anyway and use it as a springboard to create a new recipe of my own, based on some idea I saw in that yucky recipe I didn't like or want to make for myself.

Would someone please repost the cannellini bean recipe? I might never have gotten it, because The subject did not show there was a recipe there, or I may not have gotten it at all. I think some of the messages are getting lost on the way to my Inbox.
