A few things about the organization of this page (which is a bad sign, since a well-organized page wouldn't need an explanation):
- The primary categories are: Appetizers; Main Course; Sides; Dessert/Brunch; and Drinks
- I've also created subcategories in case you want to be more specific about the ingredient--Pork; Beef; Poultry; Seafood; Other Protein; Vegetarian; Pasta/Noodles
Knock yourself out. If you make any of these dishes and don't like them, just keep quiet. On the other hand, if you have any comments/suggestions for other folks, let me know and I'll add the comments to the original post.
