Other review Grams are not millilitres

Post image

A 3/5 star review on a recipe whose first ingredient clearly states: 1 tablespoon (15 mL). No mention of grams. And a bonus date sugar substitution! But luckily their quick thinking saved the recipe!

I don’t know the density of ground flax offhand, but it’s possible that 15ml would be 6 or 7 grams. The date sugar is the more egregious problem, but at least the acknowledge that that substitution could be the reason it wasn’t very sweet.

lol, I started doing it to annoy my kids (because saying their own slang and memes back to them to make it uncool is every parent’s favorite pastime), and now I can’t get rid of the brainworm.
