Just a personal opinion, but here goes: While how to load and operate a
dish washer could be thought of as food related, it doesn't have anything to
do with cooking, nor does cutting the food. I think this list is for how to
prepare a recipe, cook it safely. I think that, originally, this list was
meant as a way for blind people to help each other become better cooks by
sharing not only recipes, but also, and more importantly, sharing tips on
how to, as a blind person, perform the tasks of recipe preparation and food
cooking. I think the list has gotten away from being a list for that
purpose. Recipes are gotten from the Internet, some are not even reworked.
They still have unnecessary clutter in them. People send in stuff they
haven't tried as a blind person. I would like to see a lot fewer copied
recipes, and a lot more recipes with "how to do this as a blind person",
written by a blind person who actually does it. Dale's weekly program,
"cooking in the dark" not only gives a recipe, but how! he! makes! it!,
especially the technique and the tools he uses. That, to me, is what this
list either was, or should be. Whit this in mind, am I on the right list?,
or should I subscribe to another. Thanks.

Subject: [CnD] Maybe I am on the wrong list.
Hi. I have to apologise for all of this. I am new to this list. I did not
know that this list was just for recipes. I thought that because it was
called cooking in the dark that you could talk about anything cooking
related. I also read as a part of the subscription rules that no questions
were stupid because everyone cooks at a different level. Maybe I took that
too literally, but that is what I got out of it. Maybe if we are only
supposed to talk about recipes on this list and not talk about other
aspects of cooking then this list should be called recipes in the dark
instead of cooking in the dark. I was going to ask other questions like
how to load and unload a dishwasher and how to make food look good when
you are going to be serving it to a bunch of people and how to tell wen
all of the ingredients are mixed in to the food properly and lots of other
stuff as well. Now I see that this is the wrong place for that kind of
stuff. I need a lot of help with my cooking skills before any of these
recipes you are talking about will do me any good. At this point, I would
not know how to do any of these recipes you are talking about. Not even
the microwave ones. This list is too advanced for me. When I signed up for
it I thought that we could talk about anything cooking or food related.
The name cooking in the dark threw me off and made me think that this was
a cooking list not just a list for recipes. Now that I am reading all of
the mail from this list, I see that all people talk about on here is
recipes. I am sorry! Maybe I need to go and find myself a different list.
