5. Really! I love when people on DU share recipes. This is good as having neighbors, friends, family sharing recipes!

8. Yum

The first two are vegan as well .
I like reading recipes. At least one of P G Wodehouse’s books had a man with dyspepsia who liked to have recipes read aloud to him as he drifted off to sleep . That’s me..

9. Exactly.

I own a game (it's fun for oddballs like me) where one of the ways to get points
is by being read a list of ingredients and naming the dish in question!

Another has questions like this: Was the French Laundry located
then gives you four options.

So one's mind absolutely can envisage a dish by just internally "seeing"
the culmination of the mixture.

Y'know, I'm just giving you what I'm reading

I can’t really see what..I am pretty much always playing it straight and alone.
