An d this is now I still remember back ion the early day. The Home_
Cooking echo got started because of an A.R. moderator with a bee in her

Home_Cooking as a "friendlier, more welcoming" echo. Other than the bulk
recipe I post there and in "Recipes" almost all of the traffic is in 
this echo. I think I had two posts in Home_Cooking this year in response 
to one of my recipes. Longer ago than that in Recipes
