Mary Allison exclaims:
MA> EXCUSE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!
MA> Why can't people learn to cook from scratch *ON* the net. 
MA> I've gotten LOTS of recipes off the net that don't use additives.

Because one simply _can't_ cook on the net, nor can one cook while ON the
net.  Cooking is best done IN a kitchen, ON a stove.  (Gotcha! *grin*)

(I said this out of general frustration at people (not anyone in particular)
 who seem to expect packaged food to conform to their tastes.  In other
 words, if packaged foods are not to your liking, prepare foods that are.)

MA> If you LIKE additives then get off the net and go to your local
MA> supermarket, buy lots of packaged foods, and YOU get OFF THE NET!!

I don't have strong feelings about additives, as long as I can't taste 'em.

(As for the rest of your reply to me, I am sorry it it seemed as if i was 
 picking on you.  I wasn't trying to do so.  Please accept my apologies.)
