I found Zaar after I got married and it's been such a lifesaver and so much fun. I enjoy the games and DH and DS enjoy the food!I usually work as a surgical tech but since my son was born I moved into my new profession as a stay at home mom. It's a nice change I've been enjoying it and it gives me more time to COOK! I like to share recipes that I enjoy or have eaten at some of my fav places. I'm a San Diegan currently living in New York with my Husband and our 15month old Son. <a href="http://s106.photobucket.com/albums/m276/ribosomal/?action=view¤t=sammyzaar1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m276/ribosomal/sammyzaar1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://s106.photobucket.com/albums/m276/ribosomal/?action=view¤t=tootah205websmall.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m276/ribosomal/tootah205websmall.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://www.commenthaven.com/glitter-text-generator"><img src="http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/198/z4aafc3566855b.gif" alt="Glitter Text Generator" width="327" height="67" border="0" /></a> When I first came to zaar I recipe selected mostly 4 and 5 rated recipes but now after playing several games and seeing the different ways people review. I realize so many recipes miss a good chance. So now I just go by ingredients or a good idea and choose my recipes based on that. I've been lucky enough to grow up eating a variety of cuisines from various cultures and have eaten at some really great restaurants from hole in the wall to 5star. So I let my palate do the choosing and so far I've had pretty good luck picking recipes. I don't generally rate recipes by cooking time or exact measurement of ingredients unless it's a baking recipe or the temp and time were just way off. I also won't give a bad rating because of my lack of ingredients or skill. I don't measure when I cook unless it's baking. I give the recipe a good read and eyeball the amounts. This works for me. I know everyone has different tastes and I will be hard pressed to give a rating of 3 unless it just really didn't work for me. I don't see any reason to hurt anyone's feelings when I can just give a detailed review of my changes or no rating instead.
