    Feck it lads, I was looking at the wrong dates and I've accidentally scheduled you all for Fridays rather than Mondays :o. Will I leave it as it is, or would you prefer it changed back to Mondays?

    To be honest, Friday suits me better - generally just sitting around doing feck all, relaxing after the week :)

    Don't mind if it's changed to Monday though!

    I think Fridays will work well! I've always got more time at the weekend for trying out new recipes, and it's easier for me to get ingredients too.

    Thanks Faith, stellar job as always ;)

    From the sign-up thread:
    Faith wrote:
    As before, we will not be accepting sign-ups from posters with less than 100 posts. We will use our discretion regarding sign-ups from posters who have never posted in the Food & Drink forums before because we found they were the most likely to not step up when it was their turn.

    Unfortunately you missed out this year due to your low post-count and lack of history as a poster in the Food forums. I'd be happy to keep you in mind as a stand-in if you like?

    Freaky Stuff - my first born is due on the 9/3/12 (same date as I am due to cook!). I'll do something in advance and have it ready to go....(my wife will be the one with her hands full on the 9th of march :-) ).

    Sent a PM to LostinBlanch to remind him/her to post a recipe. Hopefully one will be up soon.

    Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 30,662 Mod ✭✭✭✭Faith


    Folks, there won't be a recipe up this week due circumstances beyond the poster's control. Normal service will resume this Friday.


  • #14
    Faith
    Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 30,662 Mod ✭✭✭✭Faith


    We've sent a couple of PMs to IHeartChemistry as a reminder about this week. Hopefully a recipe will be posted soon, but we've got no confirmation as of yet.


  • #15
    Faith
    Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 30,662 Mod ✭✭✭✭Faith


    IHeartChemistry hasn't replied to our PMs and has been posting since, so I think we can assume there's no recipe this week.

    The next 4 posters have been PM'ed and reminded, so that should hopefully ensure a steady stream of recipes for now.

    Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,150 ✭✭✭✭Malari


    How frustrating! Why do people rush to sign up if they can't post just one recipe? It's not like there's any emphasis on it having to be complicated or a full meal or anything. :-(


  • #17
    Faith
    Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 30,662 Mod ✭✭✭✭Faith


    Yeah, it's frustrating alright. Real life gets in the way a lot of the time - births, deaths, and general unexpected things - but we usually get an indication in advance that there won't be a recipe. In instances like this, where there's no apparent reason for no recipe - the poster thanked the original schedule post and has gotten two PMs - it makes me feel like I'm wasting my time putting so much effort in. But then I see the enjoyment gotten from the recipes that are posted, and it reminds me why I do it :).

    Maybe for next year, people could only sign up if they show you a back up post or something and then when their time comes they could either post something new or post the back up?

    Moderators Posts: 24,367 ✭✭✭✭ChewChew


    Well the fact that the poster is still posting, and hasn't had the decency to reply to your PM's is incredibly frustrating. Especially when there are people really to stand in if someone cant do their week! Hopefully sending reminders in advance will be a huge help Faith. And for what it's worth... There is still a huge amount of us that appreciate the hard work and effort you put in :)

    That's an idea, but it would be difficult to implement. There are things we could do - eg. have everyone post their recipes in the first couple of weeks of the year, and delete them all until the relevant week when we'd undelete them - but it's all a LOT of work.

    I do want to add - it's possible this week's poster has only been online via the mobile site. I don't get notifications of PMs when I'm browsing by mobile, so they might not have received the reminders. However, there's nothing else we can do either way.

    We've never even specified that a recipe has to be an original. There's nothing to stop someone posting a recipe they found online, or that's from a celebrity chef. All we ask is that it's a tried-and-tested recipe that the poster enjoyed and thinks others will enjoy :).

    Yeah I don't kow how it would work, all I know is I'd loved to sign up but I said I wouldn't till I have a back done myself as I know life sometimes does get in the way even with best intentions.

    It is a pity when there are blanks in the weeks but this is a great thread and love looking at everyone's efforts.

    Thanks Faith

    If that person is being extremely rude and posting away, but ignoring your PMs Faith, stick an infraction on their post in the sign up thread, and ban them from the club forum.

    That's highly ignorant behaviour, it really is.

    Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 30,662 Mod ✭✭✭✭Faith


    We normally have stand-ins, but we can only call on them with sufficient notice. We still haven't heard from this week's poster. I was giving him/her the benefit of the doubt for a while, but then it just became too late IMO. It's actually a lot of work trying to arrange a stand-in.

    That said, if anyone wants to pop up a recipe, feel free :).

    would be possible for next year that before you allowed sign up, you need to have had a certain number of posts in the cooking forum and prove that they are an active member of the forum?

    It would make more sense for the person to submit their recipe a week in advance, so if they can't make it the week their recipe is up a Mod can post it for them, or it would give someone else a chance to make a replacement recipe.

    great minds think alike,was going to suggest the same thing.

    i dont post here much but lurk everyday and have copied 6 or 7 recipes as my signature dishes.

    maybe just have a couple of poster with recipes on standby who've already PM'd their recipe to Faith so she knows they are ready to go and she could maybe even post the recipe herself on their behalf if they aren't able to respond in time?

    I'm not sure having a posting history in Food and Drink (or C&R) is indicative of the likelihood of someone turning up. As has been said, a few dropouts are unavoidable due to real life circumstances. Not sure about the rest, a bit baffling, but the club seems to come up with the goods each year, so onwards and upwards and we'll see what the rest of 2012 brings us. :cool:

    i am completely new to this forum (i will admit that) i didn't know it was here :o but i love this idea. i presume it works by when it is your turn you throw up a recipe for something you love to cook. i am off to look at the ones posted for this year so far.

    but i'd be well up for being a stand-by this year if ya want me. i LOVE to cook. i am the only one in our house that does, and will be going back to college in sept (deferred for a year) to study culinary arts :D

    whatever you think though obvs, don't want to tread on anyones toes

    I'm sure there's only a very slim chance but I'd be very interested in posting a recipe too if/when necessary :-)

    Thanks.
