My son moved out of the dorm after one quarter because he said he couldn't stand the food and would rather cook ... and bake. I've gotten the odd call from the grocery store or from the apartment when he realized he'd forgotten an ingredient and wanted some ideas on how to substitute/improvise. One of his first calls was about subbing chocolate for cocoa. I explained that could be tricky because he had to consider the sugar and fat content of the chocolate, when cocoa is unsweetened and nearly fat free. With all the confidence of youth, he said, "I'm good at chemistry; I'll figure it out." And I guess he did because he informed me later that his cake turned out. And he definitely knows to check out the blog and the KAF website for recipes! GREAT - sounds like you've raised a "Gen Y" to be a "Gen B" - for baker! Thanks for sharing- PJH
