Hello from suburban Fort Worth, Texas! ______________________________________________ *My rating system defined* Very few recipes really knock my socks off - I love to cook but am not a gourmet. This said: ***** - met all my expectations in taste & appearance; directions were clear & easy to follow. **** - fell slightly short of my expectations in taste or appearance or directions were faulty or not completely clear. *** - mediocre taste and/or appearance; most likely a recipe that I would not use again without much modification. ** - taste and/or appearance was not to my liking; a recipe that I would not attempt to modify or use again. * - taste was absolutely not to my liking (I can't imagine ever using this rating as I can generally tell by the ingredients if I will enjoy the finished product or not) <img src=http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e347/Saturn6666/chefbanner1.jpg alt= />     <img src=http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j44/scmurray51/hagshat.jpg alt= />
