Guys, this group has become one of my favorites.
Every time I visit, I feel like I'm breaking bread with old friends. I'm glad I discovered it. AND the bonus is that I've gotten some really good recipes and ideas from the posts.

Thanks to you all for such great word feasts and a relaxing place to come to when the political scene gets frustrating.

2. Yup, I like hangin' out here, too...
...and y'all are being incredibly helpful to me in my quest to learn the art of making edible, healthy food.

(When I say 'healthy,' I mean 'food made from real food ingredients' as opposed to 'food made from industrially-produced food-like products.')

appreciatively,
Bright

4. There are so many knowledgeable people here
I've gathered a bunch of recipes and am working my way through them. This group and the DIY home improvement group have been like an oasis.

6. I'll have to give it a read
I've been such a lazy gardener these past few years that I avoided it. But I bet there's lots of inspiration there, too.

7. Me too. I love this place.
I find that I'm cooking more and trying more new things, because there are people here to discuss it with.

In some ways, when I'm cooking, I feel like I'm cooking for everyone here too (and of course you are all invited over anytime). It used to be that if I were just cooking for two, I'd hesitate on some recipes, but now, I feel like I'm cooking for a much larger group, so I forge ahead.

Now, where are you guys when I have all this food and nobody to eat it??? :)

10. I agree
I'm more active in this group than any other. I don't have time to post a lot but I seem to make time to post here. Maybe because food is one thing I do know really well. More likely the fact that the people in this group are welcoming and not intimidating. Everyone plays nice here.
