If you don’t have enough white flour to make a cake, it’s a bad idea to make up the difference with whole wheat flour.

Pouring dry cornstarch directly into the pot of chicken and dumplings, while makes for an amusing photo, doesn’t really turn out well for eating.

You can be hungry enough to find Mac&Cheese made with French Vanilla creamer to be quite tasty, if slightly surreal.

Along these same lines: Vanilla ice cream melted into a bowl of cereal is not as much like adding milk as you might think. . .
