For meatloaf with my friend. My friends love when I make meatloaf, but I worked hard on that recipe and want to keep it to myself. Does that make me a jerk?

Not at all. It’s ok to have the odd mysterious secret !

It’s pretty standard old lady culture to give out the recipe just a little bit wrong or missing the secret spice that makes it perfect to keep other people from making it as good as you do.

Best potluck I ever attended was a Mennonite one. A lady actually gave me her peanut butter bar recipe!

Hey do you know that @ThePickinSkunk can make sauerkraut? I looked up the recipe. I might make it. My great grandmother’s maiden name was Copenhaver. So I do have some German roots on my mother’s side.

I saw a Mennonite family in the store once. Best behaved children I’ve ever seen.

We were just talking about Sauerkraut at our friend’s house. Apparently there are different ways of making it. Hope yours turns out well.
