And when you've finished plumbing your southern oraphace with enough
light for you to actually see, you _might_ be able to rethink that
stance you've taken. I doubt it, though, given your blind stupidity
regarding Sheldumb and that unflinching willingness to go with popular
opinion.
Quoted message said:He posts recipes, doesn't engage in P****ing contests or
wars. What more could you ask for.
(I hate to admit it, but some of his stuff sounds good -
after your mind-altering substance of choice, of course).
Let's start with recipes that he's _ACTUALLY_ _TRIED_ and move on from
there. Anyone can batch a dozen recipes. You hit a website, sign-up on a
group or mail-list, and then just copy-and-paste ad nauseum.
The MAIN benefit from posting recipes that one has tried is from the
modifications that appear (or the editorial commentary from said
modifications.) It shows that the poster has an interest in food and not
just seeing his or her nom de plume. Adding some commentary takes little
effort and a minimal amount of time. It does create breakdowns in
hit-and-run postings.
Le move on: Most of Jimmy's recipes disguise textures and tastes through
over-use of salt and fat-laden products. If you can only taste the salt
or fat, then what's the point in loading it down with other bulk. If you
wanna eat a jar of Crisco or chomp on a saltlick, then do it; don't hide
it with a dozen items.
I use items that are just as quick and more-easily controlled than many
of the products in his "recipes." If that makes me a food-snob, then
I'll happily accept that title. When someone like Jimmy posts his
untried [censored], then I'll continue to nail him for it.
