Cooking Item
This is the cooking item, a noncontentious place to discuss food and drink.
Gourmands are welcome. As Julia Childs would say, "Bon Apetit!".

I finally perfected the recipe for Gjetost fondue. Note, if you are on a
cholesterol or fat reduction diet, move right along.
100 g heavy cream
70 g dark rum
20 g sodium citrate
50 g light brown sugar
240 g Gjetst
15 g butter, salted
Nutmeg
Heat 100 g of heavy cream and 70 g of dark rum
Whisk in 20 g of Sodium Citrate and 50 g of light brown sugar
Slowly whisk in 240 g of Gjetst, roughly a fifth at a time, blending after
each addition until fully dissoved
Add 15 g of salted butter, and whisk to blend
Grate 1/4 of a nut of nutmeg and whisk to blend thoroughly, optionally a bit
of cinamon
Serve with tart apples, pears, crusty bread

Note that there is a cooking conference, as well, for those interested
(j cooking). We can link this item there at some point, if that is okay.

I just had (2) soy dogs for lunch with fake American cheese, chopped
green onions and some delicious Clausen's relish. The toaster oven was
used for extra crispiness.

Resp:2 Yes, there is. However it is essentially abandon, and there are only
about a dozen of active participants in Agora. Why thin the already dwindling
paticipation by sending the discussion elsewhere, where it will rapidly die
of loneliness, rocking in the corner, mumbling to itself? Except (perhaps)
Coop, the other conferences are probably verging on irrelevant. Many have not
had more than one post per year since the start of this decade.

I can link this item as well as the one from the past quarter [as a fw],
if you're interested, dtk. That way, we will always have them where we
can access them in the future if/when we want to expand on something
that was already posted.

If you like cooking and go to the cooking conference, you might find
more discussions of interest and maybe even feel like reviving some
discussions. Or, maybe we should just throw in the towel because agora
is almost dead, too?

Resp:7 I am not suggesting killing the BBS or the Agora; rather, by
centralizing activity, we can help build upon a strong core. I would like to
see discussion continue on a lot of topics that have waned (there used to be
interesting discussions in Jellyware and Cooking). I like the idea of linking
to those non-seasonal conferences, because they provide continuity, while
keeping the visibility in the place where people spend most of their time.
By analogy, you may have your factory and your repair shop and your big store
in the suburbs, but please keep a storefront in hte CBD, to remind people your
company is still relevant. Agora is the CBD, the other conferences are suburbs
and ghost towns.
