Recipe Swap Game Description! Recipe Swap

Recipe Swap Game Description!

keni 16 years ago

okay, guys, here we go with what I hope will be a long running "game"...the rules are fairly simple...someone is going to start us off by posting a recipe of another Recipe Swap member that he/she's going to make. In that same post, he/she will post a recipe of THEIR OWN that they'd like someone else to "pick up" and try.

The next person to come along(it can be more than one of us, who cares??), "picks hers up" and "swaps" it with one of their own...the game continues!

There will be only a reasonable time restriction like, say, a couple weeks, because we know plans change, things happen, and we all get busy, but, let's try to avoid "Oh, I pick that one for next summer when my tomatoes are ripe!" ;)

So, we're counting on honesty, here, to make the recipes you've "picked up", and please review them both in the "Recipe Swap Review" thread, as well as on the recipes page. Photos are bonuses, but not required!

If, for some reason, you decide NOT to make the recipe you "picked up", please put it back on the thread so someone else knows it's still out there to be made!

The idea, of course, is to get our recipes tried, but also to open us all up to new things!

Also, please add the links to recipes ONLY when they're tried...in other words, if I try a recipe of another member, I will be the one to add it to the Recipe Swap group, that way, we can keep up with how many recipes get tried!

For any other questions, please ask them, here, and we'll start a new thread for Reviews, a thread ONLY to be used to pick up and drop off recipes, as well as a Chatter thread to just chat about the recipes, or anything else that comes up! :)

Love this idea...have a dumb question, though...do we need to wait for the latest recipe to be picked up before we add another?

hey guys, thanks! The "idea" sparrow is, yeah, to have it moving fast so somethin' comes up that strikes your fancy that you wanna try before putting one of your own down to try so we're all grabbing AND adding.... but, we need some more people, to make that happen in a rapid succession! :) Like Lillian's got her peppermint balls which sound great, but I've made SO many desserts lately, I'm gonna wait for a savory to be put up...

So, we've got a couple choices...we wait it out and try an' get more people over here to get it moving...or, if it stays small, we can all put a recipe up of someone elses' that we've tried on our own, then drop off one of ours to be tried....that's what Lillian did to start the party :)

I was gonna give it a couple days to see how it went, but we've at least got the option of jump starting it, if we wanna...cus we've all got recipes from other member's we've tried, so we've a place to artificially start, need be, to keep a larger number of recipes available to be picked up :)

That's kind of what I thought, Keni. And those Peppermint Balls look awesome, but, that's something I won't make until next Christmas. Would it be too confusing to have two threads going? One for desserts, and one for main dishes?

that's so funny that you said that, sparrow...I was JUST thinking the same thing this morning...if we get enough members to participate, then it might be best to have both a "sweet" and "savory" thread started....

let's keep that in mind and if it starts to look like it's really gonna take off, we'll do that, for sure, okay?

great minds and all that ;)

BTW...Lillian...I'm glad you added those Peppermint Balls...I printed it and put with my Christmas recipes....I wouldn't have thought of them then! LOL
