        dispatch the same action.type the I need to check action.recipeList
        is undefined or I get an infinite loop~~ Instead just call next which is
        the same as dispatch except for the fact it just continues down the
        middleware chain to the store/reducer. The dispatch will start the
        cycle from the beginner forcing me into the check with undefined.
