I Came, I Saw, I Tried It Out!

This thread will be where we all will post after we have tried any recipes from this forum....OK?
If you decide to make any of these wonderful dishes, please stop by this thread and let us know what you thought of the meal.....give us a little 'meal rating'.
{chef} This should be pretty fun! {chef}

Oh this is a great idea! Maybe we could have a scale rating system... like 1 to 5 or something? huh? maybe? Five stars *****?

I know it would be tough if someone posted a recipe and for some reason you didn't like it, to give them a mediocre score, but honestly... we are all so rushed for time it seems with trying to make things and of course, we all realize everyone here has different tastes, I think we could be mature enought to not get mad over a not so good rating, don't you? What one person doesn't care for another may fall in love with. Or do you think it might cause hard feelings? We don't want that either... urg.

[Karenluvs6]

no, I think it's a great idea!
a 1-5 scale would be fine....or like(***)stars or something. one - five stars...ya know?
all the woman, I think, are mature enough to do this without getting mad.



I just went through all that....then went back and read your post again (blinc)...and just now noticed you already mentioned the stars.....DUH.....what a bonehead I am.

[blinc]

Yeah that would be great. Like the first thing you would post would be the rating? Then a comment or two? Was that what you had in mind?

**** I really liked this whatever dish. I like mine just a little more spicey though. But overall it was really good.

Five stars would be for those rare "excellent" dishes? I just want to know how this works... sorry if I'm buggging you to death!!

Ok, to be perfectly honest I would be disappointed if someone didn't like a dish of mine, because I like everyone to enjoy what I make in real life. However, I certainly wouldn't get mad! (I'd just figure it was something they did wrong!!) {toothy} No, seriously... I would just chalk it up to having different tastes then mine. no big deal.

[Karenluvs6]

yup that's exactly what I had in mind!
this is how we'll do it.
good thoughts.

I agree, guys...a rating system would be nice....I think I can handle it if noone likes my recipe...like Blinc says, i'd figure they just didn't do it right...{smash} LOL....no seriously, everyone has different tastes! It's okay.

[Karenluvs6]

well, looks like I am the first to try out one of these recipes!

I tried this one last night...'Cajun Fried Potatoes and Sausage'
definitely a *****
It was an excellent dish and very easy to make!
I would make it again.

Ok, so there is one more disadvantage to living out in the boonies. There are only once a week/every other week trips to the grocery store! Gonna put a big dent in the ol' checkbook next time I go shopping, want to get the indgredients for about 4 of these recipes, right off the bat. :)

**** For this recipe:

Sausage Stuffed Peppers

Estimated Times: Est. preparation time: 15 mins

Ingredients
1 pound sausage
1/2 pound lean ground beef

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a large bowl combine together sausage, beef, corn, bread crumbs, celery, chopped green bell peppers tops, onion and egg until thoroughly mixed. Divide mixture evenly among peppers. Place in a rectangular baking dish. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I only made four of them *whew they're filling* and I didn't use the corn, because I have a thing about corn mixed with other foods... but had some on the side, if that counts? {toothy}

This was a really good recipe! Easy to make and it had a great taste! I used Italian sausage by the way.

[Karenluvs6]

cool Blinc.
and four stars too huh?...I think I'll try this one too.
It sounds delicious...and I happen to love stuffed peppers.

[blinc]

Yep, def. 4 stars in my book. I love stuffed peppers, but have never had them turn out that good before. They were really good!
