This group helped get me started. I lurked for several years working
on my technique and recipes learning as I went from information found
here. Most times I didn't even need to post the questions I had
because someone else had already done it...I just needed to read all
of the responses. Still like reading others tips because I still
haven't gotten it all quite right yet.
