Hey Everyone, who's still around?? I forgot I was in charge of this group. I don't think i remember anything on how to do stuff any more!
holy crap. How the heck are you!?!?!?!?
Do stuff? FWs are supposed to do stuff? Someone shoulda told me.. *grins*
I'm still here. Thanks for coming back!
Hey cool, nice to see some life stirring in these parts. Maybe time to start documenting my recent forays into the kitchen.
Um. Hi :) I've not been around in forever, and hopefully I'll be a good girl and poke my head in again occasionally. Most especially in Cooking, since I've been doing so damn much of it in the last few years, now that I'm living with a veggie, and found out that I'm allergic to milk....makkes for some exciting times :)
It's a MEG! :)
Welcome back, Meg!
Yeah.
What is it like to live with a vegetable?

Hi Meg! I'm another absentee trying to be more regular.
So Meg, whatcha been cooking? How about entering one of your favorite recipes? Pretty please.
It's way too early to enter recipes, but I will soon. :) Favourites at the house (most of which come before the whole milk allergy thing, which has only been for a couple of months): Sweet Potato Enchiladas, Mushroom Barley Soup, "Asian Dinner" (I go all out, making sushi, egg drop soup and soba noodles in peanut sauce), Minestrone, tons of Mexican "stuff", Tofu Tagine, Tofu (or paneer) Curry with raisens and cashews......um....I'll try to remember more, too. When I have the time, though, I've been cooking up a storm! I've deffinately missed you guys :D
Tofu curry. Yum. The rest sound great too, but I'm interested in doing more with tofu.
I just had green curry tofu for lunch.
Hey Meg!! I haven't done much with tofu--I really don't know WHAT to do with the stuff, so after trying something once years ago, I haven't tried cooking with it since. Show's what kind of cook I am, huh? Anyway, the curry sounds great! I do need to get back into cooking more [and healthy stuff, too].
For those in the Ann Arbor area, the best tofu I've found is available there. China Rose is made in Ann Arbor, and is fresh and firm, not vacuumsealed and silken. It cuts almost like a solid cheese, and has no funky soy taste to it. I hate tofu, but love that stuff! I slice it and bbq it, marinade and bake it, chop it and throw into stews.
I finally got my original screen name back... Perhaps its time to update/clean up some of the items here [as fw]. Some are old and long!
Oh please do.
I'll try and freeze some of the longer items and eventually delete them. Or is anyone interested in a fresh restart?
Do we really need one?
There just seems to be lots and lots of old items as well as items with lots of responses to sort through. But does it have to be done? Not necessarily, I'm just looking for ways to make participation easier.
FWIW, I dont have any problem with leaving the conference as it is. It might be more difficult for a new person though.
If we do a restart, we loose all the advice and recipes that have been posted.
What did people do for earlier restarts?? Perhaps just freezing long items and restarting those ones will be helpful. Its just hard trying to find certain responses in the itmes that are several hundred or more long! So much good stuff here, granted; I want to still be able to have people be able to find stuff, talk/post stuff, etc etc. Not that this isn't happening at all, mind you. Just some thoughts.
resp:112 Hmmm, if we had a way to quickly organize all the recipes, at least-- I have yet to look at the bread stuff
If we do a restart, advance notice would be given so people can save whatever they'd like. There ARE a few items that have been frozen [some for a long time now]; these can stay or be removed, but restarted as new items whenever.
If you have a restart, the old conference gets filed as "kitchen1" or something like that. You don't lose the conference, but you do have to join it again to find old stuff. BTW, I may have the password and ability to add to the recipe collection. Let me look when I get back to Michigan later this summer. For those of you who didn't use it, it is a UNIX file that you can download from Grex any time you want.
You have several choices:
