I personally am not asking for that. However, I would like to know the status of a recipe in that regard. Some folks here already do that. You'll get a note like "From Barbara Millicent Roberts on this list" for some recipes. But I'd just like to know if a blind person had made this recipe. This will tell me if it's been "blind tested" or if I'm going to need to examine it and try to puzzle out any potential difficulties for someone who is almost totally blind, and that can take some pre-work.

They would post helpful hints and tips along with the recipe for those of us who might really appreciate and need them. I'm sure that I will misspell the last name, but does anyone remember Henry Casten? This is exactly what he would do in a lot of his posts. Now, it seems as though people get recipes from the Internet and other sources rather than posting stuff they have actually tried with success. To me, this is disappointing. --- Shepherds are the best beasts, but Labs are a close second. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nicole Massey" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2013 11:19 AM Subject: Re: [CnD] a thought on recipe requests > Also, I'd appreciate it if folks indicated if they'd made the recipe in > question or not.
