Why don't you just tell her the truth? Admit that you fibbed, and buy her a box of the packet mix.

All she really wants to do is replicate what you did, and if you explain it the right way, I'm sure she'll understand. Specially if she really is as sweet as you say.

Martha Stewart was supposed to be this brilliant wall-street guru.
But she went to jail stemming from what I believe was insider trading,
and apparently has not yet learned to read the fine print before signing the contract.

(Reuters) - Macy's Inc is suing Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia Inc, accusing
the company of breach of contract for entering into an agreement to sell certain products
at stores run by its rival J.C. Penney Co Inc.

Mostly, it's because she heard me lie in front of the whole staffroom. Something I am ashamed of in retrospect, but only because I was caught out. I might actually be a sociopath.

And it's because she is a sweet lady that I can't expect her to perpetuate my lie.

I like the idea of adding to the lie.
Because I'm obviously that kind of person.

Good try Ali, but at least I can be honest about it here.

I don't think you're a sociopath Sundae, and I'm pretty sure no one else here does either. lol

Sometimes you just get more credit for owning up. Probably no one else was even paying attention when you said you'd made it from scratch anyway.

Maybe you could just say it's an old recipe and you don't really measure the ingredients? That way you're hardly even lying anyway.
