Purpose Of Cooking In The Dark
Howdy All, When this list started, it was to be used as an aid and teaching tool dealing with cooking. This covers a huge range of topics...a lot larger than just trading recipes back and forth. They include everything from getting the food to cleaning up afterwards. Tips, Ideas, Strategies, how to questions are all welcome and encouraged. I remember what it was like when I first lost my sight... The unknown scared the hell out of me. Getting information on how to cook and be independent in the kitchen was hard to come by...I had lots of questions and no where to find the answers. This list is intended to change all that. Topics about grocery shopping, labeling food items, cookware, and products, food storage and prep, how do I do something...cleaning up afterwards...are all welcome here. As long as it can be related to cooking the topics are welcome. Now how to download a file on a computer or how to wash clothes, vacuum a floor, etc are not for this list. Jessica, the questions you want to ask, She wrote: "I was going to ask other questions like how to load and unload a dishwasher and how to make food look good when you are going to be serving it to a bunch of people and how to tell wen all of the ingredients are mixed in to the food properly and lots of other stuff as well. These are perfectly fine here...Everyone on this list should stop and put themselves in the other person's shoes and just think about what that person is really needing help...it is hard enough to get up off the couch and start living life as a blind person. We should applaud everyone that does this and wants to learn how to do things in the kitchen as a blind person. Everyone on this list has different skill levels in the kitchen and I love it when we help each other! Now, how about getting Jessica some answers to her questions? How to load a dishwasher? How to present food to a large group of people? How to know when the ingredients are mixed in...I get my hands in it! Feeling around in the mixed ingredients ill tell you allot. I fell around the edges of the bowl above the mixed portion when doing whet ingredients, feeling for dry mix that is not in the wet mix part... Get your hands in it and feel around! food presentable when serving? Great information and awesome support...and fabulous recipes. Not to mention the wonderful cast of characters we have on this list... it all equals Cooking In The Dark! Let's not lose sight of what this list is here to do...no pun intended! Now, If anyone has a question or a problem about what someone else is posting, contact me or steve off list. Forward us the message and your concerns about why you don't think it should be posted to our list. My address: cookinginthed...@att.net Steve's Address: stev...@suddenlink.net (And ya'll might want to congratulate Steve on his upcoming wedding in April, off list please, and also thank him for the work he does for all of us on this list.) We will handle the matter discreetly and privately. Keep on Cooking, Dale Campbell List Owner _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
