Hey foodies, let’s have some fun. Let’s build a Playroom One-dish wonder. Anyone who wants to contribute can play. By vote, we’ll layout and cook a dish created by all of those who want into the game. Each stage of cook and ingredient must have a majority vote by the end of the time given for that part of the recipe. At the end, those who want to can make the dish at home and report back on it’s success. Then we’ll name it. Please, if you haven’t eaten it yourself, don’t suggest an ingredient. All good recipes are built with flavor, so yeah; keep that in mind. Also keep in mind that the ingredients ought to be something that the majority of us can get our hands on either locally or online, please. If there is an ingredient that’s voted in but everyone can’t get it; I’ll try to come up with an alternate for it.

The one thing I ask is that this be a one-pot (or pan) recipe cause, hey; we’re gamers and “ain’t nobody got no time for all that”. It’s still about the game, right?

So first vote: What kind of item should we create? A soup, a stew, a casserole, a crock pot dish; what say ye? Votes must be in by November 11, 2024. I want to give some time to build up momentum and give everyone a chance to participate if they want. All voting will not take this long, so no worries. Okay, let’s go, baby!

Im trying to understand it. Ok lets try do a soup then. What next?

Well, we give a few more people a chance to chime in and if soup gets the most votes then we start creating our soup recipe. Easy peasy, Chica. So that's one vote for soup.

Samosa, whichever you prefer; veg or nonveg.

soop is good anyway instead of pole using chats you can create a pole hear so that people can voat for the list

soop pot

So...3 soup, 1 samosa, I putting my vote in for stew Now how do I make a poll in here?

lol. lets vote for all simple magae.

soup would be nice.

Hello,
to make a poll, you have to use the Website. Click on the open on the Web option to open this topic on the website, login if necessary, then find the edit topic heading. You'll have a poll button, press enter to expand it, and you will see the data you need to enter.

That being said, I'm not sure if it's appropriate, because the poll will ask for a list of answers and it's designed to choose from a predetermined list you set out in advance, meaning that the users won't be able to specify custom responses.

Hey gang. I'm gonna try to make a poll for the rest of our ingredient selections thanks to Nicolah's help. But we'll finish the voting for the type of one-dish wonder here. So far we have 5 soup, 1 stew, 1 samosa and 1 Maggy. I'm counting Maggy separately since I think it's like Ramen in that it can be made either soup-ish or as a dry noodle dish. Correct me if i'm wrong and i'll change it.

Hey Girl. I vote for stew, too. You make the best stews and I want to copy this recipe.

5 soup, 2 stew, 1 samosa and 1 maggy...

Okay gang. The soups have it. We're making soup. I'm gonna make a poll for the next thing we need to consider...the protein. Stay tuned while I figure this out.

The results are in…and the beans have it! So one batch of bean soup, coming up. Here are the results of the poll in case you are curious. Next step is to get our flavor profile which just means picking the aromatics we’re gonna use. I’ll set it up a little later and that will be the last poll before we can start cooking. Are you excited?

Poll results:
Chicken: 7 votes, 37%
Beef: 3 votes, 16%
Pork 1 vote, 5%
Turkey: no votes
*Beans: 9 votes 47%
Tofu: 6 votes, 32%
Shrimp (crab, etc) 1 vote 5%
Oily fish: (cod, salmon, etc) 2 votes 11%

Last vote before cook time, foodies! We're voting on the flavor profile for our bean soup. So just in case you’re a fairly new cook with limited experience; aromatics are the basic ingredients of the soup (or dish) that defines what the overall flavor will be. Flavor profiles are things like Korean, Italian, Greek, Mexican…In the poll, I will list the aromatics by flavor profile name with ingredients that will give you an idea of what you can use in the soup. You will vote on the flavor profile and then I will create a base soup recipe with some of the ingredients listed. Am I making sense? Let me know if you have any questions, please. This is supposed to be fun, not confusing.

Voting will end on Tuesday, Nov 19th. Then the cooking can begin.

Well, you guys surprised me. Check out the winning soup profile. I voted for it, but would have sworn that I’d be the only one. One Swedish basic soup recipe coming up!
Chinese (8 votes, 35%)
Ethiopian (4 votes, 17%)
South Indian (6 votes, 29%)
Spanish (3 votes, 13%)
*Swedish (11 votes, 48%)

I’ll post the basic soup recipe on Sunday. Take it and do with it what you will. You can just make the basic recipe and call it grace or you can (and I hope you do) embellish and make it your own. But whatever you do, come back and let us all know. I’m dying to see what you guys come up with.
