ok, opinions please. let's say you make a cake. in fact you make this cake more than once and it is a family recipe. you give the recipe to a relative. you are invited to a family gathering...and suddenly this relative announces that she is going to make this cake. does anyone else find this odd/tacky/etc. etc. ??

it's a great cake. thanks for all of the opinions. I know imitation is supposedly flattery...yada..yada..yada. I guess where I am coming from is that if one person makes a particular cake well, side dish well, etc. etc....then likely that person is the one who should continue to make that side dish well. I don't cook a whole lot of things very well, aside from desserts, and I tend to make them from scratch. Seems like I would have been asked to make the dessert for the get-together...then, if I said "Oh, I don't have the time to make that" or something to that effect, than someone else could suggest that they make that item. I share recipes so that people can make things to share with others. I did derive some pleasure however when someone tried to make this cake one time and really screwed it up. I silently chuckled. shame on me. oh, psycho...I'll keep your suggestion in mind. :rofl:

OMG, Sun I have had the exact same thing happen!!....and it was from a very close family member which made it very hurtful. I,too, can make plenty of dessert recipes but didn't really have another option if asked to bring a dish. A coworker gave a wonderful chicken recipe to try and have as "my own". I tried it out at home first (delish!!) and the night I was serving it said family drops in and I invite to stay for dinner~all the while explaining the story of now I would have a signature dish to bring blah blah. She asks for recipe and I happily share thinking everyone in the world is as respectful as I am. Flash forward a couple months....I get a phone call inviting me to a pot luck family event to which I proudly ask if I can bring my new dish and the answer is "oh! You mean **insert jerk family members name* new chicken dish?" She had immediately made my new recipe and was making sure all family members tried it as hers before I even got a chance to bring it anywhere!! And of course you feel like a child saying you mean MY recipe, etc..

When I shared the recipe and the plan with her I assumed if she made the recipe it would be to share with coworkers or her friends not sabotage me.

All this time I thought it had just happened to me, so thank you for sharing and for letting me vent!!! :ohwell:

That does it for my dogs too.
It was actually funny, but she snagged the bandage all up. I have to close my purse up because she is always in there chewing on my gum. I have a pretty deep purse/bag and the other day all I saw was a tail sticking out of it. The mint drives her crazy!

I know a guy (teenager now) that put brown crayons in the dryer with his Dad's underwear (most of them white) when he was little - on purpose.

Hope yours isnt that bad!
