The recipe that we have been working on does not call for the blending of ingredients at boiling temperature as that can cause curdling in the mix. You may need to consider time in the refrigerator to chill.When contributions are again at room temperature or close enough it is easier to continue with the work. However if some equiptment is intent on steaming everything, perhaps they had be better put outside the kitchen door.By the way, I thought we had ordered all the metal equiptment in chrome finished stainless steel so whoever's black should report to the sinks for scrubbing.Thank you,The Wooden Spoon. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />No, seriously. The point of joining a discussion to to make your suggestions and opinions heard but to do so means that others need to be able to read them. It's been really hard for me to even want to read the thread with all the ________. Yes, I have a scroll wheel on my mouse but it occurs to me that maybe - just maybe - there are valid points hidden amongst all the chaff and I should think that anyone bothering to read and respond to these serious threads would want to be considered as making a contribution, not just passed over as "oh no, not another one from player Z". Valid points are in there... lets just focus on the software and what we think it needs, not who said what.Besides. Scrollers still have to stop and read to see if they've gotten past it. hehNow.As I see it the problem is atmosphere. I know someone's brought it up before, or was it in one of my messenger conversations? ISRP is fun for me because I can suspend reality a lil and imagine what's going on. Things like "player says, " instead of <player>: help out. So does the ability to pull up descriptions or read "whispered" stuff (PMs) on the same stretch of text rather than another window/tab. And for that matter, so does having a lil more supporting info visible and an image relevant to the setting.Yes, I know there're various ways to message someone on the new software. But one of them I find tricky (and I don't know how it comes up anyway), another means having to flick to another tab all the time and the third seems so damn easy to foul up it's frustrating. That's an irritation to me.The login time Mel said she's working on. I agree that having my name logged "in" even if not "on" (if you know what I mean) is a lil worrying but its no different from having the boards remembering who's logged into this comp. I don't log myself out of the boards every time unless I know another player is going it use it.Hmm... what else?Oh, I hope the problem I had earlier today in getting the boards to log out one name and log on another isn't because of the chat. That'll be a real pain in the backside.That's all I can think of right now. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/angel.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":angel:" title="Angel    :angel:" data-shortname=":angel:" /> - Chitara</blockquote>
