[lavendersage]

hi I don't think anyone started the game yet. If they have...just ignore this thread.

Anyone can start the game, so if you notice there is no new game at the beginning of the month..feel free to start.

HOW TO PLAY THE GAME:

1. The first player of the month starts the game by posting their choice of recipe. At the end of the text, she or he types their name (so we can give credit where credit is due) and "the next ingredient: xxxx. (The x’s represent that person’s choice of any ingredient that can be included in a recipe.).

2. Throughout the game, the next poster in line must use the ingredient that the person ahead chose. If you can, highlight the ingredient and/or put it in capital letters anywhere that it is used throughout the recipe. That does make it easier for everyone to see how the game works. If you aren’t that familiar with your word processor, don’t sweat it. We are more interested in your ideas than your formatting skills.

3. Because of time or system delays, some duplicate posts occur to the same ingredient. The next poster generally responds to the first post for that ingredient.
