As if I don't have enough communities already...

I was thinking about starting a new community.

I like to cook. I know a lot of my friends like to cook. But, like almost everyone, I sometimes have an ingredient around that I need or want to use (right now it's four potatoes that I had planned to use last week but didn't) and no inspiration or ideas. I could google away for potato recipes, but sometimes when I'm not looking with something in mind, it's rather futile to do that.

So, what I was thinking is that I'd like a community where I can go and post my primary ingredient, the kind of meal I'm planning on using it for (if I know), a few of my kitchen basics/staples, and my skill level, and then let people post recipe suggestions or favorite recipes of their own...rather than saying "Oh, just google it" or "that's what allrecipes is for."

Thoughts? Comments? Feel free to link to this discussion or crosspost it.

In the meantime, I'm going to figure out what to do with those potatoes.

People make posts like that to food_porn all the time. Yeah, some people will link to a recipe on allrecipies, but generally it's something they've tried.
