It's a great idea to get people to join the site. However, I've tried a few times and they won't send me an authorization email so I can't activate my account. Too bad.

I had the same question as ra-mom.

Some recipes need a drop of oil to sautee veges in. Or a bit of s&p. then there are the sesame seeds on the challah. How many sesame seeds? should I put 100? I never really counted them. LOL

The other thing was that we can't put in fractions of measurements. like 2/3 or 1/2. We can only do like 1.5 or 1.3 maybe you can make another column for fraction options.

Thanks. it looks like it'll finally be the site I've been looking for.
And I love the way you got people to actually start posting. Smart move. Unfortunately I don't have much time this week to post many but IYH I hope to add more in the future.

Not sure if my post was deleted, or I didn't post it in the end. I would like to read the terms of service before I post recipes, but there are not terms up yet.

For fractions the directions say to enter the fraction after the number with no space so 1 1/2 would be 11/2. It seemed to work for me.

CK, is there any way for an ingredient to be listed without a quantity? Like "salt and pepper to taste"?

I wrote about it in the community.
To cheat the system - put a hyphen in the quantity.

100 sesame seeds sound perfect! LOL

I'll personally count it for you.

I'm thinking about pushing off the date a few days since the ad come out so late. What do you think?

That sounds smart, being that so many people are probably posting due to that ad.
Btw, I absolutely adore your new site! It's perfect! And now there's a site besides for imamother that I can waste looooads of time on Wink

Thanks, I think this is just what the Jewish community needed!

well.... I'd rather you not push off the date so that I have a bigger chance to win. Wink

But I think if you give extra time you'll get alot more. And that'll make your site that much better.

Another suggestion: Can we change the view of the way the recipes come up when we just browse?
and if we can get a browsing column on the side? I love allrecipes.com. You can see over there what I mean.

Do you mean Browse deeper? We have that ontop - recipe filter, sort or the recipe mixer.

What do you mean by view?

I don't know I don't drink the stuff just cook with it. I use whatever DH happens to buy, usually bottles I guess. I don't know if they are the same size as the ones in the US though.
Also, I think I used smaller bottles this time.
It doesn't really matter, it's more of a throw whatever you've got in the house kind of recipe.
