Recipe reviews make me crazy, and not just from poor spelling. I could go on and on... and maybe I will!
First off, if you're going to change more than 10% of the ingredients, then it's a different recipe. It's OK to post that information as a helpful hint, but don't rate the recipe! Especially if you've changed it so much it's unrecognizable! When I was looking for Mexican Rice recipes, I came across one where a woman had added jalapenos, meat, cheese, and a can of black beans. Lady, that's a freakin' casserole, not a side dish!
Secondly, don't complain that a recipe that's full of butter and sugar is not healthy. Didn't you read the recipe first?
Thirdly, and I know that's probably not a real word, don't say you added peppers or hot sauce to something because it was bland. Read the damn recipe... if there's no spice in it, and you usually dump a ton of spices in your food, then you probably won't like it.
And don't tell me something is made from ingredients I already have on hand. How do you know what's in my pantry? If you've got a webcam in there, I'm calling the cops.
"We can all agree...." no, we can't. You don't speak for me, or anyone else. People's tastes are different, and you are not the food judge!
My latest pet peeve is "substituted for". Learn to use this phrase correctly, people! It means "used instead of!" So, if you're using lemon instead of vanilla, for example, you are substituting lemon for vanilla, not the other way around. "I substituted vanilla for lemon" is not only wrong, it's stupid when there's no lemon in recipe.
Am I impatient? Hell, yeah.
