I sometimes dabble around other forums on CD, and you know what.... they actually have somewhat normal people in them. It's just relationships and the Politics forums that seem to be full of the crazies.
I mean, how nutty can someone get when exchanging casserole recipes??
Oh you would be surprised, I've ruffled a few casserole feathers simply by asking why one would ruin a perfectly good dish substituting low fat, no fat, no flavor ingredients for the real thing.....
SD, a friend of mine has over 6000 cookbooks and I have a few hundred. I have a few first editions signed by the cooks and a couple from a good friend who gave me a couple of her Mother's cookbooks and a set of pillow cases her Mother made and a feed sack shaped bank that is really cute. She has given me a few of her old bowls as well and a couple things that belonged to her Auntie's.
Not to bring the mood down again, but your post about missing a whole side of your family hit home. That's what my sister is doing to my niece (and us). It sucks, and there's nothing we can do about it.
I just hope my niece turns into a rebellious brat.
I don't venture into the cooking forum. I am starting a collection of cookbooks. Which I use once in a while. My favorite bagal shop, the only one in town, has an amazing lox bagel sandwich. I always order that.
I love cookbooks. They can be very interesting, especially when they have stories or other details behind the recipes, and the photography can be beautiful. But collecting them, for me, could get out of hand in a big hurry, lol, so I stopped doing that. Maybe you have more restraint, though, lol.

You'd be surprised, lol. For the most part, though, they're pretty fun.

I dabble about in music and they seem fairly normal there.
Mrs. CHow was just in the kitchen getting some veggies chopped up for dinner tonight. A Thai style chicken veggie soup.
I was just talking about wanting French Onion soup, EL Jeffe vetoed it and hence the Thai chicken soup.
I've been eating like a 300 pound linebacker lately, need to dial it down and soup is a good way to start....
Lol, I love French onion soup, but I just wasn't feeling it at all right now.

I have a big-ish cookbook collection. One of my guilty pleasures. I like to try a new dish every so often. Tonight we are having firey angel hair with shrimp. It's quick and easy.
Lol!

Damn it, now you're making me regret it! Balsamic!
That's the big thing with that recipe, cutting up so many onions. Raw onion fumes and I don't get along, lol.
Sheesh, if you guys think the (moderated) C-D forums are bad, you should have seen the old AOL Canine Behavior board. Yowzers!!! That was the first board I posted on, and I got used to telling people exactly what I thought of them. It gets me into trouble here. LOL

There is another forum that I rarely go to, but it's like the wild west in that one, people get really really ugly and nasty...
It's actually a cess pool, and I don't go there very often.
I sometimes do wish that CD had and R rated section that if you wanted to go to... but that's ok, the internet is full of stuff if you want things other than pg13....
Heck, I think if I had a kid I'd have to install some software to ease up on the porn stuff.
Good lord, I've typed in some word combo during a search and some of the stuff that comes up... LOL.....
yes, bring on the porn jokes.....

I'd like the idea of a R rated section. I Keep toying with the idea of a private group for the regulars.
