The internet is brutal/wonderful for many reasons, not least of which is because you can get pretty much instant feedback on any idea you might have. So when we tossed our baby, the spankin' new (Not)Recipes app, into the ether this morning, we knew you'd have some things to say about it.
The good news was that overwhelmingly, the initial responders can be categorized as "thrilled" and/or "stoked," "excited," or "freaking out."

Dear Shit Food Blogger: At least you're trying!
Keep up the chatter! We love hearing from you about the app.
