[Fictionary] Are you okay with a variant round?

I won the last round (DARB), so get to run the next one.

Long-time participants will know that I like to run non-definition variation rounds, such as one where you had to write a brief synopsis of a movie given the title, or to write the rules of an actual 19th-century children's game — https://mailman.swarpa.net/pipermail/fictionary/2011/003678.html

I'd like to try another one this round: I’d give you the name and ingredients of an actual recipe from The Vintage Recipe Project, and have you supply the recipe’s instructions. (It’d be a short one, using few ingredients, so you would only have to write a few sentences). But before I go ahead with this, I want to ask for your permission, and confirm that I’d actually get sufficient entries. So: *please* tell me if you think you’d enter this round, and if you think you would skip this round. (If you’re not at all sure, no need to reply).

If I get enough positive responses by the weekend, that will be the next round. Otherwise, I’ll have it be a normal word-defining one.


Thanks!

-Jim
