"High Altitude" Cooking - Not Just For Pilots Anymore

I live in the desert. The "high altitude" desert. You know where I live. Its called Utah.

Well, we learned something new today here in my house. A friend was helping cook some brownies tonight for a fundraiser and wondered why her baking always turned out... different.

"What does this mean?" she asked, "these instructions about 'high altitude' cooking?"

"Those are special instructions for people who live in the mountains, like us" came the reply.

There was a slight pause followed by understanding spreading over her face. After this came the laughing.

"I thought that was for if you were cooking on a plane!"

So, for those who can't quite bake that cake just right, try the 'high altitude' instructions. It's not just for pilots anymore!
