When my daughter, Holly was about six or seven, she had three girl friends who lived next door, ages about 5, 8 and 11. One day the oldest, Terri, came over with a cookbook and said she wanted to bake a pie while her Mom was at work. She chose a recipe and went home to get started. In a few moments the phone rang; it was Terri. "Eunice, this recipe says to use Wesson oil and we don"t have any. Could I use Karo syrup, it looks about the same?" I quickly told her "OH, NO, you come over and get some Wesson oil!"
