    OOP'S I think I goofed by editing this double copy of the same recipe into a totally different recipe all together. I'm thinking that because I just noticed I have two "Notices" Undefined offset 1 above? Guess I'm in trouble now! This for sure will make me grumpy!

    I think at one time or another we have all been there. Sometimes posting a second time when we thought the other did not make it. I know that I am guilty. A "FIVE" on account!
