Hey mama! No real suggestions right now, just a comment. I think you and the other host do a great job. I love bevy tag. It is great getting to know others who love to cook. Also, I have made some great recipes that I wouldn't have neccessarily found otherwise. Thanks you so much for all you hard work.

Thanks seesko!

Hi Hope!

So many respondents want pictures that intimidate those of us without means of reply that this should receive some "gentle discouragement" unless those with the artsy computers and cameras should start responding with photo's of the less endowed's recipe's...and that fairly "immediately".

Just my thought.

John,

I understand. Please do not feel badly that you do not offer pictures. I for one love a review with or without a pic


I am a little confuzzled though at what the remainder of your message says. I am a little thick headed today I am afraid.

I do not think that we encourage one way or another, the submission of pictures. If I am mistaken please point out where we have made this mistake. I hate to think anyone would feel badly or unwelcome.

Hugs my King Canuck!

I agree with Hope, having someone take a picture of my recipe is really, really nice, but I appreciate a review w/o one just as much. No one should feel bad about not posting pictures as it is, I believe, a personal choice, not a requirement.

Remember January's good ol' Comfort Cafe? That was a great bevvy tag game. A little bit of enjoyment and inspiration in the cold midwinter. I think we should start another one for April!! The new life and brightly blushing flowers of spring call for us to respond with new coffees and teas, perhaps even a little liqueur to keep the blush in our cheeks (heehee- except me, I AM underage )Please keep it in mind!

I'd just nod and smile regarding the picture thing Hope! Some people just like to stir the pot....

I'm sure I could find something to suggest but as I haven't been around barely at all the past 6 months or so, I really can't think of anything. I have two step daughters living with my husband and I now that are 14 and 15, and between trying to deal with them and working part time I have been neglecting my friends on Recipe Zaar. I still bartend and I still make killer drinks and food, just haven't had the time to post or play the games

You're a great host as always, keep up the good work!

You are just too sweet! We have missed you! Glad to see you!

I'm a bad pic person myself. I have a camera, I built my own computer, but I just don't take pics. Don't know why ... just don't. I cater and should but always forget it seems.

I would love see marinades. There are so many marinates made with alcohol, wines, or cordials.

Also gravys and sauces. Not just a white or brown gravy but a light white wine and lime vodka sauce or orange rum and lime juice. Lots of variations which are great. Seafood chicken, beef. I use bloody mary mix over steak which is amazing, there are so many options and never really mentioned. Mango rum over papaya, mango, pinapple, kiwi, banana and guava and then served over fried coconut vanilla ice cream is a killer dessert.

Hi Zaars and Zaarinas -

Here is what I would LOVE to see - a 'whine' room where we can lament failed dishes, dinners, parties.

Thanks Sarasota!

Secret Agent! Another great idea!

Maybe we could post our 'whine's" and others can help us to figure out what went wrong?

Thanks for the great ideas!
