Personal Recipes at Foodista.com

February 18, 2009

Great news from Colin’s website!  I’ve been waiting for this. Now we can add our own recipes and no one can change them.

We’ve got our noses to the grindstone working hard to make things even more fun for you at Foodista! Our newest feature is the ability to make a recipe Personal – meaning no one but you can edit it or make changes. We still believe it’s valuable for a recipe to be editable – and, honestly, we’ve found that most changes are simply to correct spelling or make other minor adjustments that don’t fundamentally change the recipe – but if you want to add your Grandma’s super-special pie recipe or you created a blow-your-socks-off casserole and don’t ever want it to change, make it Personal! Here’s how to do it: when you add a recipe simply select “Personal Recipe – Only I can Edit” before you click “Save”. Only you will be able to make edits (except for Foodista editors), however, once you make a recipe Personal, there’s no turning back, so make sure you really want to do it! Pretty nifty, huh

Here is one version of the inserted painting within the light box. The light boxes within the  painting held two layers of mulberry paper. Abstract transparent paintings veiled ink sketches of the animal gods of Egypt.

Making the decision not to renew Apple’s website has caused a few glitches like having no place on the net to show my artwork. I’ll need to rebuild it somewhere. Meanwhile this painting, The Guardians is one of the paintings shown in an exhibit called Taken from my sketchbook: Egypt 2006. My paintings introduce large scale light boxes set within canvas structures to highlight artwork inspired by sketches done during a trip to Egypt. Size: 54″ x 84″ Beeswax, acrylic on canvas, mixed media on mulberry paper.
