Recipe writers block

[EagleTa2]

Hi Everyone - I think I have recipe writers block... and the return key on my pooter isn't working, so this post may end up looking like 42 run on sentences. I am sorry for that!! Anyway - I am having a hard time dreaming up some new recipes. Does anyone know if there is a decent program or site that I can go to and enter the flavors I have to see what concoctions I can make that I haven't thought of yet? www.diyrecipebook.com tries really hard to do this, but I have found some glitches. One problem is that its very brand specific when I comes to flavors. For example, if I have TFA Strawberry and they have a recipe that calls for LA Strawberry, then it will tell me I do not have the ingredients necessary. I would however give it a try with TFA Strawberry because you never know what you'll end up with. Ive also seen a glitch where I want to make something with Cinnamon Red Hots... I have it in my inventory but when I find a recipe that uses it...it says I can't make it because I am missing Cinnamon Red Hots. Its very frustrating. Kind of like typing this post and hitting the return key 17 times and it not doing anything! Thanks in advance for any help! Geo

I can't help with any programs but if you need some ideas, look for recipes of real food and drink. There are plenty of websites with drink/bar recipes and some of them translate quite well.

[Tangent] If your return key doesn't work only on ECF check out this thread.
Or, in short, scroll down to the 'quick reply' window. On the bottom right click 'go advanced'. Then in the top left look at the A/A button. It toggles from 'Source Mode' to 'WYSIWYG' and vice versa. Set it to 'Source Mode' and see if that doesn't fix it. It did for me.

If the return key fails to function all the time and in all programs, well, your return key doesn't work. [/Tangent]
