Re: [CnD] Hope this is not out of line
I certainly appreciate all opinions. But maybe someone may wish to start there own blind cook list specifically for a certain type of diet, etc. I love the fact that all can share here as they choose and I can delete recipes that I don't think I'll use or eat. Thank you all for the good tips, helpful articles and especially, the recipes. Keep it coming. (smile) Also, everyone have a wonderful holiday if you celebrate.

Re: [CnD] Hope this is not out of line
Yes, I like that way of putting it, too. We share all kinds of cuisines. That's what we are doing. In theory. But lately, all this diversity has looked unbelievably similar. I guess that if I want a change of pace, I will have to provide it myself. I was not tactful in the way I asked for a change though. I don't like restrictions either. I am also in the club of not liking sugar substitutes all that much, though I don't care if they work for somebody else. -Original Message- From: Cookinginthedark On Behalf Of Sugar Lopez via Cookinginthedark Sent: Thursday, September 3, 2020 5:31 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Sugar Lopez Subject: Re: [CnD] Hope this is not out of line Wisely put Immigrant I appreciate that.

Well, I would say that we all need to take into consideration what our needs are, and if reading a certain type of recipe is too tempting, maybe those who are able to see subject lines will want to avoid subjects that distress or tempt them.

Re: [CnD] Hope this is not out of line
Sorry, I didn't quite mean to ban anything, just maybe every once in a while talk about something that isn't sugary. But I didn't mean it to sound as harsh as it obviously did. For that, I apologize from the heart. -Original Message- From: Cookinginthedark On Behalf Of diane.fann7--- via Cookinginthedark Sent: Thursday, September 3, 2020 4:03 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: diane.fa...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [CnD] Hope this is not out of line I can't stand avocado, cucumbers or tofu.

Immigrant, I do agree with you.

I consider a recipe to be a blueprint. I try to stick close to it the first time, but,, after that, all bets are off.
