 * Trying to construct a conditional statement that tests whether a post has either
   meta info (for a custom image) or a feature image:
 *     ```
       $image="Recipe Image";
       $recipeimage=get_post_meta($post->ID, $image, true);
   
       if ( ! $recipeimage && has_post_thumbnail() = 'false'){ ?>
   
       <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/no-recipe-image.jpg" alt="" class="alignright" />
   
       <?php } ?>
       ```
   
 * So if the meta variable returns false and there is no post thumbnail, we display
   the alternate image.
 * Anyone have any idea why this is not working?
 * Thanks in advance.
