Is it possible Grandma didn't realize she hadn't given you the correct recipes? I've heard the tollhouse recipe has changed over the years, so maybe she didn't realize that the recipe she was using wasn't the one that was currently on the back of the package. Maybe when she wrote the recipe for the bread, she just forgot to write you were supposed to start the day before. I guess it's more probable that Grandma just didn't want to share her secret recipes. I'm glad you have them now!

My mother is the queen of passive-aggressive, jerk-me-around bullsh*t, and not even she would do that (at least not to family). That is seriously messed up. I'm glad you were able to recover the recipes. I'm with the ones who don't find it funny.

She probably chuckled every time you told her your tried her recipe and you just couldn't get it right!! That is so funny!!

My husband's Polish Grandma made the most fantastic polish sausage and kraut. It took him many, many, years to finally sit with her and write down the exact recipe while she made it. He questioned every measurement, when she added a bit of this and some or that, so now we have a very detailed written account of this recipe.
While we only make it for some holidays I would have a hard time sharing this recipe with just anyone because it is dh's family recipe and honestly I've never had anything like this before so it just seems very special. I would absolutely give it to family and close friends but also add in the story behind the recipe.

Who does that? I don't see the humor in it.
