Date: 1-14-10

Subject: Plain Muffins

Ingredient(s) Omitted: 1 Beaten Egg

Results:

The Subject's texture was slightly less light, and substantially more crumbly. The Subject's flavor was minimally altered.*

Verdict:

Refined Palate -finds the Subject edible.

Unrefined Palate -finds the Subject good, but not exceptional.



*Let it be noted that the addition of blueberries and lemon extract in an attempt to alter the Subject to "gourmet", while improving the overall flavor, had no marked effects on the Subject's texture.


Date: 1-10-10

Subject: Pizza Crust

Ingredient(s) Omitted: Yeast

Results:

Still pending. The Subject was frozen for further experimentation.*

Verdict:

Refined Palate -pending

Unrefined Palate -pending


*An attempt will be made to thaw the Subject and combine it with a New Subject to which the Ingredient Omittedx2 has been added. Further results will be published.

Subject: Pumpkin Pie

Ingredient(s) Omitted: Sugar

Results:

The Subject's texture was slightly more dry. The Subject's flavor....ahem.*

Verdict:

Refined Palate -found the Subject entirely unacceptable.

Unrefined Palate -ditto.

* Let it be noted that scraping the Subject's filling from the pie shell, combining it with white sugar, and cream cheese, before inserting it back into above-mentioned pie shell, and topping the Altered Subject with chopped pecans, did not produce the intended result. The Verdict was merely upgraded to "somewhat edible", by Refined and Unrefined Palates.
