For my embaressement I have never heard of zuccini before, but what can I say, the recipe sounds great especially the chocolate chips and the nuts sprinkled in the end. Oh, and I just bought some new frigidaire parts because it let me down when I most needed him - during the summer! I hope it'll be ok. :-s

oh no you didn't!

i love the potential to change the yield. the problem i had with the ingredient thingamabob was that there weren't enought little box guys for all of my ingredients, how did you fix that and get them all in there???

Oh the joy of my soul, it is uncaged.

when I was testing it, I found that hitting submit, and possibly preview would bring up a second batch of boxes..

kind of a pain for large recipes, but the yield calculator makes it worth it.. its such a cool feature..

\x69 \x20 \x61 \x6d \x20 \x31 \x33 \x33 \x37

you got it

oh its totally worth the trouble to be able to get a computer to do the math im incapable of doing. my attempts to half recipes always turn out a little funky!

anyways now i know what to do for the next long recipe, thanks bunches!

Oh the joy of my soul, it is uncaged.

I inputed the ingredients into the calculator part of it.. that way when someone changes the yield, it will update how much of each ingredient is needed (WICKED COOL!). It will only display so many boxes, until you hit submit or preview, then more will display.
