Tosca was right when she said that you need to have eaten recently, before visiting this site! Dominoes came to my rescue - but after looking at all the beautifully presented gastronomical delights, the pizza leaves me rather discontented!
What recipe did I choose.....(drumroll) "Chocolate Fudge Pudding" - Of course! I did have a quick squiz at a cheesecake/brownie recipe, but when I looked at the ingredients - my excitement quickly exited! Lots of ingredients that I doubted I could buy at the local supermarket :(
The Chocolate Fudge Pudding that I selected, incidentally, was one of Jamie Oliver's first recipes! Cool! I like Jamie Oliver and what he is trying to promote - home cooking with everyday ingredients that we can afford!
The site was pretty easily to use. You could spend a long time on that site and I supspect that many of the recipes have overseas ingredients - so you may find that annoying after a while. I am not sure whether I would use it again so I have subscribed to the site using "Feed my Inbox" so I can continue to see if I want to use this site over the next few months.
I don't mind looking at sites that are non work-related as a lot of the people I mix with enjoy cooking, and it is good to be able to share the "good recipes" with them - especially if they have a computer and the time to check the sites that I recommend to them!
What did I get out of Tastespotting? A beautiful cook book that I don't have to pay for!
A BIENTOT!

Web 2.02 - Feedmyinbox
This was a straight forward task and the dvd was easy to understand and execute - easier that picapps! I have left that until I can talk to some-one who has had some success in copying the image into their blog!
I added several feeds to my inbox - Youtube/CNN and Christchurch City Library. I chose this library because they have a better teen site than most of the others in the recommended list - apart from Manukau City libraries! :-)
I woudl probably use the site again if there was a site that I wanted to keep up with. I did try some other sites like amazon.com and ebay.com and BBC News, but I didn't have any success with those sites. Perhaps they aren't set up for feeds??
I am not sure if there would be too many opportunities to recommend this site to our patrons, but it may be worthwhile to suggest it to teachers or parents who may like to subscribe to news sites or blogs. Personally I get enough email that I don't really want too much other stuff coming into my email. When I did the RSS feeds exercise last year I got so much info coming in that I couldn't keep up with it and I deleted the feeds after 6 months!
I guess it will probably be a similar experience this time around as well!
Ciao!
