She Didn't Understand The Difference

So, a young lady who is a friend of my daughter called me this evening. She was cooking two side dishes for Thanksgiving, to take to her family's house tomorrow. One of the dishes has a glaze on it, and this was a new recipe for her. Please take in consideration this girl knows very little about cooking, and no one that has that problem should ever take a recipe they have never made before. She is making a pumpkin dessert she has made before, I gave her that recipe. It has ground cloves in it. So the other recipe she is taking is a vegetable dish that calls for 2 cloves of garlic, chopped finely. She was so confused, I had to explain that ground cloves were cloves after they are ground, and they are not the same as garlic cloves, which have to be peeled and diced finely. I dearly love her and she is sweet. She has asked my daughter cooking questions before, and we have both wondered if she ever heard of google...if we are not available, not sure who she would ask about her cooking stuff. Once she said she wanted to learn to make Snickerdoodle cookies for her Dad, because he was a grouch and he needed to snicker more. Maybe schools need to return to the Home Economics they used to teach.
