Yes, I long ago observed that she strips the attribution and
changes the names of the recipes. That really changed my view of
rfc and whether I wanted to contribute to it. I posted recipes
from my grandmother and mother as tributes to them, thinking
they'd live on in this tiny way. Nope. Just strip that
attribution right out, and change the name of the recipe so people
cannot tell one recipe for X from another--or whether it is TNT or
just some untried thing.
