how to nomnomnom

i made this!

http://www.elishasessions.com/pumpkin

we only have like five users so far. i'll be adding some improvements as time goes by.. lemme know if you have any problems.

when reheating the next day, here's a pro tip: don't add water, add COFFEE. sounds bizarre but it's really good.

damn skippy it sounds bizarre

but it's otm though

I will try.

I don't ever make any fresh, I just put what's left in the carafe from that morning.

i have made some improvements, dudes! now you can email a recipe, get a printer-friendly version, and comment on recipes.

it's still a long way from what i would ultimately like it to be but i it's at least functional now.

ed's courgette soup is freaking delicious. you can substitute any blue cheese, i would imagine..

This is cool, btw. I've submitted a recipe but I'm not sure it's gone through to the database proper.

It's there.

niiiice.

Or any green vegetable, pretty much, it is also good with spinach, kale, broccoli etc.

3:2:1 - proportion of liquid (stock, usually) to veg to dairy. This is a handy key to lots of soups.

I need to a way to get these kinds of all-purpose tips on there - i.e. they're not recipes, more just awesome things to know

also cross-linking and collecting

The next three things are:

1) clicking on user name should show you their recipes
2) creating favorites/sets
3) creating groups/friend networks

Improving categorization and taxonomy runs underneath all of this

2 is halfway done - favorites are there now!

Are you going to use one of the open social network API's, such as google's?

i have no idea - what would that get us??

A whole bunch of stuff you wouldn't have to code yourself, I think.

Shindig may kill your wee box though.

I have this soda bread thing in the oven right now.

10 minutes to go, smells good.

So you can just add lemon juice to milk for that?

I mean if you can't find buttermilk.

Seems to have worked here. Apparently you should use full cream milk and let it stand for like ten minutes. I did that and the milk tasted disgusting, so I figure it worked.

plain white vinegar works, too. about 1 tsbp per 8oz of milk.

i made that bread today!! my parents didn't even notice that i was making it, and expressed shock and surprise after dinner when i told them it had come out of the oven like an hour earlier. it is sooo good. i used to actually PAY for it.

I think my bread went OK. It looked like what I see when I GIS soda bread. I think I am just not a soda bread person.

I also made the broccoli soup. That was awesome, if a little salty (presumably due to the stilton).

lol my photo for the soda bread recipe is GIS, i am a total faker. however all mine looks pretty much like that.

my courgette soup wasn't too salty (for me) though i decided to use no cream and it was still very very rich.

i added my recipe!

lol

oh this looks awesome!

sorry, site is down ;_;

will be back up at 2pm EST, with caek's fucking sandwich and hopefully a recipe or two from a real actual former palestinian chef who lives in east tennessee!

But I want to nomnomnom now!

(sorry)

my fucking sandwich?

I also made the broccoli soup. That was awesome, if a little salty (presumably due to the stilton).

getting the balance of stock/stilton right can be tricky, the cream does moderate it. Low salt veg stock or make your own is a good way to go.

More improvements for this are here!

I've added a forum for questions and answers, is the main thing

The menu options (write a recipe, browse, ask & answer, etc) in the top banner all just lead you back home.

??

i have just tried it on Windows IE6 and Firefox, and Mac Firefox and Safari and it works..

hmm

plz tell me what browser you are usin (hopefully some old piece a crap that gets z-index messed up)

I'm on Firefox 2.0! Just checked again, and yeah, the first four options all lead me to /pumpkin. Only contact, rss, and log out do what their meant to. In the top right corner of the screen it says 'Skip to navigation', but it isn't a hyperlink.

What's wrong with me???

on a PC or on a mac?

mac

Works fine on opera mobile (my only internet right now)

weird

links work for me on Firefox 3 on Mac

p.s. I owe you an email Eli. phd is giving me jokes right now, so it may be a while

can you put photos up? i should put up a photo of my recipe, it is pretty easy to screw up.

yeah you can! if you go to your recipe and click the EDIT tab, you'll be able to add it

g00b i am attempting to find a versh of FF2 in order to fix the prob you're having - i know WHY it's happening but not WHY it's HAPPENING

I hear you

fixed it!! hallelujah

i think that was the last thing really driving me crazy.

by the way g00bey, i made your orange soup last night and it was a hit even though i couldn't find fresh sage (which i think is what works best w/it) and even though i forgot to add the honey

tehresa's <a href="http://www.elishasessions.com/pumpkin/content/drinks/hot-flash-sparkler";>Hot Flash Sparkler</a> is the perfect complement to any gathering of saucy divorcées

The current call is for your FESTIVE DRINKS!

woops

Hot Flash Sparkler

i checked w/ my aunt... it came from More magazine - she describes it as "for women over 40" so tracer's description is otm.
