I just read the list rules, and didn't find anything that says it's only for recipes. I've been on the list for several years. We're talked about cooking techniques, cooking related products, food for certain occasions, lots of cooking tips. If this is going to be, from now on, just a place where people send recipes, why bother. You can get a recipe from the internet. You can't get how a blind person might prepare that dish. Abby

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.
