Yes, I understand the problem with the journals (that is what brought me here with this), but I thought we could have some flexibility especially in the beginning. Perhaps if we do little notations on our meals with newbies in mind (that is why I did it on mine), we'll avoid a lot of questions...but if one or two crops us, that's okay.

I think the ideal is menu only thread but with some room for flexibility if something is not clear or someone is new (asking what is this or what is that?)

I want to avoid endless scrolling also, but I hope we can allow a few questions from newbies (or not so newbies). Also, as we begin to understand what about our menus is not clear (like if we use terminology that new lc'ers don't understand) we can figure out how to make our menu listings as helpful to others as we can.

So I think we're shooting for straight menus but we might not ever have a 100% just menus.

Does everyone think that is okay?
