I seem to recall that Ike had claimed jurisdiction over recipes for the Cafe, although calling food one of the “arts” is, IMHO, inapt most of the time:D. I’ve got a cooking question, and the lawyer in me wants to avoid having to petition the Mods for removal of my thread on _forum non conveniens_ grounds. But I notice that there’s a recipe thread already started in MPSIMS. Is that the right place these days?

CS is a good place for it, Ike’s a great cook.

I started a thread talking about bringing homemade Biscotti to work and an observation about who knew what it was in MPSIMS. It seem mundane and pointless to me. The thread was moved to Cafe Society. Should all food related threads be in CS?
