Not only those that we have tried. I was pointing out that this was, and
that seems to be the key word, was, the original focus of the list, and that
focus was why I joined. If you listen to Dale's cooking in the dark
programs, those are, I think, what the list's original intent was. Blind
people sharing their recipes, tips on how to prepare them as a blind person,
and stuff like that, rather than looking up recipes on The Internet and
passing them on, untried.

So are we to only share recipes that we have prepared ourselves? If so,
this should be stated in the introductory material upon joining.

Along the lines of your suggestion, I recall that my interest in this list
was mainly due to the fact that people would be posting recipes that they,
as a blind person, have prepared. 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.

Also, I'd appreciate it if folks indicated if they'd made the recipe in
question or not. I'm more likely to get interested in a recipe someone
has
made, especially without sighted help, than one that was just grabbed
from a
net search and stuffed here to meet a request.
And while I'm thinking about it, if the person requesting something has
any
dietary restrictions, that'd be good to know so folks don't expend effort
on
sending recipes that the requester can't eat or serve.

Subject: [CnD] a thought on recipe requests
Lately, I've seen recipe requests that are so broad, their responses will
flood inboxes. If list members would be more specific on what they are
looking, it would probably cut down the list traffic. Examples could be,
rather than asking for crock pot recipes, ask for crock pot roast
recipes.
Rather than asking for recipes of Mexican food, ask for Enchilada or
burrito
recipes. Think a bit before you ask. Any idea how many chicken recipes
there are? I'd venture a guess that there might be well into the
thousands!
