I looked at the Emails I received when joining. Hopefully, this can clear
up our misconceptions? If not, I'd like clarification, on list, from the
moderator and or owner.
From the list guidelines:
1. Keep messages on the topic of cooking.
From the welcome letter:
Welcome to Cooking in the Dark!
You Don't Need Sight to Make Dinner Tonight!
The list for visually impaired cooks of all abilities!
If you are a chef or just learning to boil water you will be right at home.
Our members share favorite recipes, ideas, tips, and even some light-hearted
banter from time to time!

Hello All,
I have been vision impaired for many years and total for the last ten or
so. There is so much difference between seeing a bit and seeing nothing.
I learned a great deal from the difficulties that Jessica drew our
attention to and the answers received and I tried many of them myself and
certainly learned a lot from this discussion. I think it is healthy for
all of us to share some of the solutions.
I intend to join the two lists recommended, whether or not it is decided
to make this list solely recipes, many of which I delete because I could
not achieve them without sighted help, which I don't have.
I feel I have gained so many friends here and was very impressed by the
warmth and encouragement shown to our Jessica.
Even though some rarely ask a question on the List, it does not mean that
we are not gaining from the answers sent in, so I would not like someone
like Jessica to feel that she is allowed only to write off list. I want
to hear it too.
Sheila,
Vancouver, Canada.

kitchen and cooking. My husband reminded me about being the owner. I would
be glad to have anyone that wanted to join. the address is,

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.
