The recipe specified cake flour, and said it would be dry if AP flour was used. Not being a baker, I guess you didn't have any cake flour lying around.

Wow, i guess we're all on the same page with the dumplings! I didn't bother to scroll down before I posted.

CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS

A big pot of rice with a can of Campbell's condensed cream of mushroom soup mixed in. Guilty pleasure comfort food of my childhood.

I live in Portland and started eating green olive and cream cheese on wheat when I was pregnant. I was mad for salty stuff, and would eat them for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Always with carrot sticks on the side. Mmmm, now i want one!

After pizza 2 days in a row and chinese food last night, I redeemed myself nutrition-wise with healthy oatmeal. One microwave packet cooked with raisins, grated apple and milk. Added some cinnamon and well chopped banana for sweetness. Cottage cheese on the side. Virtue is restored!

Sesame oil, especially if something is sauteed or fried in it. Goat cheese-no quicker way to ruin a dish, in my opinion. I love any other cheese, but goat cheese tastes to me like a petting zoo smells. Liquid smoke, gross and unnecessary. Cilantro, bleh. And possibly the worst, though I don't know if it's considered a "popular flavor"-aspartame or anything with that sugar free flavor. Horrid.
