Yeah, I was kinda torn between leaving the recipe/photo threads as photos ONLY or to allow the occasional comment with no photos. As you can see, there are mixed feelings on this. We tried, in the past, to do a separate thread for comments because even back then when one of our members first got the idea to do these picture threads with no comments, some members voiced that they LIKED having the comments and pats on the back while others said they liked the idea of no comments so we wouldn't have to scroll pages down to see actual photos due to the flood of comments.
It WOULD be very nice, though, if those of you who DO have photos of dishes you've made (even if they're OLD ones that you may have even posted a long while back - there are new people who may like to see them!) stored on your computer that you post a picture along with your comment rather than merely comment...just so we have more photos and not more comments than photos. But again, if you don't have a digi-cam or other ways to post photos or don't know how to do it or don't know how to upload pics to your computer, etc. then we don't wanna leave you out from commenting from time-to-time.
So, I'm gonna still make it so that folks can comment without pics but I'm gonna continue to request that IF YOU CAN...PLEASE post a photo along with your comment. Just start taking pics of your creations even if you don't plan to post right away and that way, they're stored on your computer so you can post them at some point or another.
Having said that, enough of the chitter-chatter...let's get some more PICTURES!
Here's a couple - The "Just like Ritz Crackers" (recipe posted in this forum) and Alissa's Rye Bagels and a slice of rye "bread" with almond butter and agave on top...
(P.S. Hi Fairygirl! :) How many photos did you attempt to post at once? I think there is a limit as to how many images per post that you can have (this even includes smilies) and so if you had over the capacity, that is more than likely why you got that message. Try uploading maybe 1-3 and see what happens.)
The last couple of days I've made some yummy raw desserts.
The first one is a version on Ani Phyo's Donut Holes...instead of dried pineapple I used dried cherries and goji berries and added a little bit of brazil nuts and pecans because I didn't have one full couple of soaked and dehydrated almonds.
The second one is Alissa's Date Nut Torte. I made it today for my friend's 1st b-day party. Of course there was lots of SAD desserts, but at least I made my own yummy raw one! This was the first time I made it and I now know I would like more raspberries on top or make a raspberry sauce to go on top of it.
The third one is Alissa's Macadamia Fudge Cookie but I dehydrated them first, then added shredded coconut and cacao nibs...yummy!!!!!
Like Stasher, I just made the donut holes too (recipe link a couple of posts up ^^) and I made it too the letter EXCEPT, when I tasted it, I thought the flavors went together really well and it's delicious, but something was missing. Sprinkled a little nutmeg on them and now they're perfect! Tastes even more like those little Hostess Crunch Donettes I used to love to eat!

Hi Fairygirl,
yeah, I had gone in and removed those more "chatty" posts as I thought you had gotten some resolution. But it's cmkree@yahoo.com.
Fairygirl unfortunately couldn't get these posted, so I am posting HER food pics on her behalf. We have: blueberry cream tarts, almond ginger nori rolls, berry cream tarts, dragon fruit tarts, and pasta primavera. YUM YUM!!
my raw pizza made on mediterranean bread. A taste explosion - Yum!
