legume recipes disappeared from providentliving.org

My wife made me post this.

About August 31, my wife printed some recipes for using legumes, along with some other stuff, apparently from providentliving.org. The page shows Provident Living Home -> Family Home Storage -> Using Food Storage -> Recipes with Legumes. Unfortunately, she didn't print everything and now wants something more, but the whole "Using Food Storage" branch appears to have disappeared.

Where did the legume recipes go?

My wife wants them back.

Oops. Crisis averted. It turns out she had a bookmark to the "Using Food Storage" page, and the page was still on the server. It looks like only the link had disappeared.

After searching high and low I found the just the basic cooking instructions. You can try searching more at the site index but I think they got pulled. You could also try www.allrecipes.com which is one of the recipe sites I use for my home cooking ideas. (That and about 6 favorite cookbooks)

Give me legumes or give me death!

There used to be a lot more info on the provident living site but now it just points to talks and a few church pamphlets. What happened to the rest?

You know it just "clicked" by your post that is what Russell meant. I thought more of a mouse clicking or something. (Didn't make much since to me at first)

I don't know though, Russell has that kind of a humor, I've seen it before on the forum...

Yea, I have too, just can't remember where and don't want to search the 690 posts to find all the examples. Though that might be good for my machine learning program I wrote for class once.

I think you have to have a "bang" for attempted murder. Cocking would only be terroristic threatening.

Gotta be careful about those ultimatums. Someone just might say "OK". :rolleyes:

I think Ben really wanted those Legumes back and was willing to put everything down for the cause.

Oh, well. All the more pizzas and burgers for me.

I need to be more careful. It is a dangerous world out there.

Hope you find your recipes. If they are no longer there, or at least no longer linked to, perhaps some change is in the works. I'm wondering if it was felt that recipes was over-reaching the central mission of the site and they are moving them to a better venue for that kind of stuff.

Of course, seeing how people hang on to PAF because "it's Church software", perhaps there was re-thinking of "Church recipes".

Then again, maybe I'm all wet.

Well if they could reference other sights that would contain those recipies, similar to the e-readers for the many different formats then people could still use it as a jumping off point.

I don't know if you have noticed, but the Church's sites very rarely link to external sites. I think that it may infer that the Church officially endorses them by having the link. I know that when Church Correlation reviews the contents of most of the LDS sites, they are really concerned about perception of the public and where people might misconstrue the intent of Church leadership.

Some of the few exceptions are the Newsroom (newsroom.lds.org) and this site (tech.lds.org). The first often needs to quote other media sources related to the Church and the latter is obviously publicly submitted content rather than Church generated content.

Well, back to the actual topic of this tread (legumes), I'm guessing that you are on the right track when you suggest that the recipes may be disappear because they shouldn't be considered "officially endorse recipes by the Church". It is sad that we can't just appreciate them for what they are, but in this litigious society we have to be careful of not only what is explicitly said but what someone might infer from it. (I have heard rumors that the Church is already constantly dealing with legal suits against them.)

I was referring to the same practice they had with Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs). If you look at the page for tech support http://lds.org/handheld/support/0,6481,345-1,00.html for the Digital Library it just has a bunch of links to external sites. Just was thinking that they could do the same with recipes.

Hope that clarifies my comment.
