Okay, I have NO idea why everything underlined! And the Multi-Serving pancake recipe came out odd. If anyone wants the correct version, PM me and I'll see if I can't get it to come out correctly in a PM. Sorry! I'm off my game tonight! LOL

[Amishway Homesteaders]

well, at least we can still read them so the underlined is OK.

and by the way, Thanks again for a great list of things to make.

 

[TurtleMama]

LOL, Amishway! You're very welcome...I think I'm going to take a break from the baking recipes and start posting main meal recipes next. Something to do with all our wheat, rice and beans!

[Mt_Rider]

I'll fix the underlining. You just missed an ending [/u] thingie. If there is something for the recipes...PM me and I'll fix it.

 

OH..never mind. I see what's wrong with the pancake chart. I'll catch that too. (charts just don't hold position on these posts, btw)
