Just a note or two

[alexcat]

First of all, thanks to nverland for posting recipes here so faithfully. I am bad community owner sometimes and forget all about my groups. I have MANY recipes to share... I simply am bad at actually doing it.

A new year is beginning soon and a chance to start anew, I suppose.

Besides posting recipes here, if any of you have recipe requests, please post them here. I figure most of us either have what you need or can he3lp you find it.

Also, remember that every member is allowed to post recipes if they wish.


If it's about food, it's allowed.

Seconded!

I manage my comms by writing down scheduled posts, or I'd never remember them. I do a month-beginning or month-end post asking what people did during the previous month, their plans for the next month, and listing any upcoming events.

Given this community's theme, you could also do "What are your favorite recipes?" for different holidays or "in season now" prompts for each season.

Recurring posts or other scheduled things may be easier than remembering to post recipes regularly.

Yeah, one of my first goals is always to finish transferring all the notes from last year's desktop calendar to this one -- recurring posts, events, all that stuff.

I'm a fan of seasonal recipes, ethnic cuisine, and trying to copycat things somebody found in a different world. I now own 3 different gaming cookbooks for video games I don't even play, not to mention nabbing things from my own characters.

I usually post when I've written up a new recipe, which is actually what I came to the community for and then I saw this post.

Good to know!

You might add to the profile page a list of post types that are welcome, because almost everything we see on here is a recipe. Things like Now in Season, What to Do with (Ingredient), Favorite (Holiday) Recipes, Cooking with Your (Appliance), etc. would be nice to see.
