Hi,
There are so many great recipes and ideas floating around on the different
email allergy groups.  And we all see requests for recipes that have either
been posted before or on another list.  It would be nice to make recipes
that have been posted to your group more accessible to everyone, on other
lists too, and still organized in a fashion that is very usable.  POFAK
(Parents of Food Allergic Kids) has begun to do this with the help of Diane
Hartman and myself initiating a separate list ONLY for the purpose of
sharing recipes and substitution tips.  I know GFCFRecipes already does this
for their own group but it would be really great to have others accessible
to the recipe files and also for them to have access to POFAK's, FAST's,
etc.

Diane and I started a new online group JUST for exchanging allergen-free
recipes. Hopefully we all can collaborate and have one HUGE recipe folder
with allergen codes to denote what it is free of/safe for.  If you are
interested you can tell your member that they can subscribe by sending a
blank e-mail to: [log in to unmask]   As recipes are
posted to that list, Diane will organize them into categories to use like a
cookbook on a concurrent basis.  Hopefully this list will make it easier for
those searching and finding newly posted recipes, and it will decrease the
volume of mail on your list if the more of the recipes are posted over on
that list instead instead.   Also if you want to help with new list, we
would be happy to have the help so write me or Diane at
[log in to unmask] .   We are going to moderate the list
so people will limit the discussion solely to this topic.

Also we have set up a chat room that runs Monday on the Miss Roben's site.
Anyone is welcome to join (the more minds the better). I have reposted the
mailer that went out below. Right now while we are completing the new site
(the other one crashed and software corrupted) go to the temporary domain
site at http://www.missroben.com/cgi-bin/chat.pl and you will be asked to
click here to enter the Chat Room.
