Why? because I find it silly that someone has to ask strangers how to prepare something to eat?
There are a myriad of threads of this nature on FR. Do you seek them all out to make an ass out of yourself or is it just cooking threads?
There are probably some kids on your yard that you should go yell at.
People are always asking strangers what to eat. The Food forums are full of it. Why not? Your meatloaf and my meatloaf may all be meatloafs but they taste different. It is always fun to get other ideas. I have about 500 cookbooks but I love to get ideas on-line — even for meatloaf!
And about asking strangers things. I come here — to FR to ask strangers things all the time and to read and think about what total strangers have to say. They don’t think for me — but they give me ideas.
Same with TheMom — she may not use all the recipes written, but they will give her ideas. She can see a dish from another angle. Not much different than listening to Rush, who always is tackling an issue from a different slant from anyone else or even your own.
I’m not trying to be critical — just trying to explain.
Do you cook?
