The frosting takes 3 egg yolks. So I pair it, quite ironically, with a healthy recipe: <a href="http://flour.multimedia.cx/oatmeal-fruit-bars/" rel="nofollow">Oatmeal fruit bars</a>, which is the stock recipe from the side of the Quaker Oats box. Granted, the latter recipe only takes 2 egg whites, but at least I'm only tossing away 1 egg white and not all 3.

Of course there is also the classic hot dogs & hot dog buns mismatch that clearly reeks of inter-industry collusion... But I have not had the opportunity to purchase those items in quite a while. What's an example of a 2-recipe pairing that you've done? Ooooh, yes, I hate it when that happens too!

What’s an example of a 2-recipe pairing that you’ve done?

I can't stand it when a recipe requires egg whites but not the yolks, or vice versa. I'm supposed to toss half an egg? That's why I always try to schedule 2 recipes where one requires the white and the other, the yolk. Call me obsessive. My biggest pet peeve along these lines is divided eggs.
