The Official Recipezaar Withdrawal Patch

Submitted by thatbobbiegirl

"Explanation of recipe title and directions: Once upon a time, this site was called Recipezaar. It was a mystical, magical place, with addictive forums. The idea for this recipe was born in those forums. Melly Mel asked if there was a withdrawal patch for Recipezaar when she was going to be away for a while. I rushed in to provide this home remedy - but remember, this is not for long term use. You must return to Recipezaar as soon as your circumstances permit!"

As a long long ago Zaar user - I still have to enter Recipe Zaar when searching for recipes! Too many name changes over the years, but my favorite recipes are still found here. Welcome @food.com, but don’t forget your roots??

Worth five stars with the following adjustments: Use one jar of Nutella instead of chocolate, make sure you use unsalted butter, use shallots instead of onion, up the garlic to 3 bulbs, add the bitters to the evoo and finally do not apply the patch to the upper arm; it works much better when applied to the left cheek and I don't mean the one you apply blush to.
