about me

Forgive me, but I must go on a rant here. You see, what I love is cooking. What I HATE is unfair reviews!

* If you despise one of the major ingredients, why in the devil would you prepare it?

* If you haven't made it/tasted it, what on earth would make you think your input is valuable?

* If your grocery doesn't have something or it's not in your pantry, how assinine is it for you to say, "I deducted a star because I couldn't find/didn't have (fill in the blank)"?

* If you have young children and the recipe includes hot seasonings, how stupid is it for you to say "It was so spicy my kids couldn't eat it"???

* If your review reads something like "My whole family went berserk they loved this so much and they've demanded that I serve it at least once a month!", how can you possibly feel comfortable that you gave the recipe 4 stars?

* If your every instinct tells you there's too much salt, too much garlic, too much hot sauce, too much whatever for your family's taste, why don't you just use your common sense and cut back instead of telling us it was too salty, too garlicky, too spicy, too whatever?

* If you're a food snob, how fair is it for you to rate a recipe that calls for 'cream of --' soup or garlic powder or margarine or dried parsley flakes and say it didn't come up to expectations?

* If you regularly use 'cream of --' soup and have never bought a head of garlic or a bunch of Italian parsley, how fair is it for you to substitute commercial products for fresh and say you were disappointed in the results?

* If you limit/eliminate your intake of certain food products, whether for physical or philosophical reasons, what makes you think you have the right to try to impose your restrictions on the rest of us?

* If you've never shared a recipe, why should your opinion of ours matter?

* If you're from Texas and automatically give 1* reviews for chili recipes that include beans, I would suggest you get over yourself.

* Last, but most assuredly not least, if the
'zaar program that does the calorie counting screws up, does it really make you feel good to slam the recipe poster?

Just askin'...
