Okay, a bit of a whine: my aunt (my mothers sister) called me last week asking if i had my (recently deceased) mothers recipe for some special xmas cookies. I dont, but i found some online and texted the sites to my cousin. My cousin replied to me, "i'll tell her you tried." I was like wtf? Today my aunt calls me again. I go, didnt cousin give you the recipes? Theyre not exact, but they should be close. She was like, yeah, i just need an idea. (Italians are notorious for their loose recipes.) Its funny, my cousin is like my mother - glass half empty, whereas i think im more like my aunt, glass half full.
