How did people cook back in the day without the Internet? It must have been pretty hard, especially if you go to make a recipe and you realize you don't have two of the ingredients. That's what happened to me over the weekend when I went to make gluten-free blueberry muffins. I thought I had gotten everything I needed at the grocery store, but I forgot to get more butter and plain yogurt. Without the Internet, I wouldn't have been able to make the muffins. But I did have the Internet, so I just did a search for substitutions and found out that I could use shortening instead of butter and sour cream instead of the yogurt. Lucky me I had shortening and sour cream so that's what I used and the muffins turned out great. Happy ending.
