Hi all, I have successfully made the pumpkin chocolate chip muffins from a recipe sent to this list some time ago. They turned out perfectly, and the only help I had was in operating the oven's "touch" controls.
What I found out, and would like to pass on, is how effective my iPod Touch was in reading the recipe. I don't have an embosser, and would not want to write up the over 200 recipes I have by hand, and I certainly was not going to put my $6,200 braille notetaker in the kitchen with me. Finally, I just moved the text file with my recipe to my dropbox (http://www.dropbox.com) folder, opened the dropbox app on my iPod, and exported my recipe to the notes app on the iPod. This let me simply move my finger down the screen to find what to do next, and required no brailling of any kind. Best of all, the iPod could handle being touched with dirty or wet fingers because of its case, whereas electronic braille would have had a hard time and hard-copy braille could have been damaged. Of course, the iPad/iPad2 or iPhone would work just as well for this purpose. In fact, an iPad would have worked better, with its larger screen. Anyway, I just wanted to pass that along in case someone was not sure how to check a recipe while cooking. If you need technical help on doing this, let me know. Thanks again for all the recipes and suggestions you all have sent, which made my first solo cooking experience a huge success. Next on the list is something for dinner, not just a dessert! -- Have a great day, Alex (msg sent from GMail website) [email protected]; http://www.facebook.com/mehgcap _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
