About YRT

You might have seen some posts (or a post) about something called a "YRT" and wondered, "What's a 'YRT'?" The following are some questions you may or may not have. Hopefully your question is answered accordingly! If not, feel free to email me or comment below and state your question. I'll try to get back to you as soon as possible, if possible. Thank you!

{possible questions you might have}

• What does "YRT" stand for?
  YRT is an abbreviation of "Yearly Recipe Tasting" or "Yearly Recipe Testing". I couldn't decide which I liked better, so since both "testing" and "tasting" start with the letter T, I decided to leave it up to you...and to just call it "YRT".
• What's the deadline on the YRT?
  The deadline is Jan 31st, though I prolong the deadline when it suits my taste, so you never can tell. Just wait and see (that's the slogan. Catchy, right?).
• When will you rate them? How do you know what to rate?
  I'll rate all the recipes from the last year the following year. So say you have ten posts posted in 2014. So you rate them Jan. 2015. You rate all the recipes posted in 2014. None of the 2015 ones, or the 2013 ones (hopefully I would have already gotten to the 2013 ones when I did the 2014 YRT).
• When do you stop rating the recipes?
  As soon as I'm through with all the recipes that need rating. (Don't understand which ones I decide to rate? Look at the question above.)
• What month do you rate them?
  I'm planning on rating them in January.
• What if we want to follow your progress as you do this year's YRT?
  I'll try to post often enough, telling you which recipe I'm tasting and rating and hopefully I'll have a link so that you can see the post, and maybe you'll be able to rate and taste with me! 
• What if we want to tell you our ratings and how much we liked the recipe?
  That's easy! If you want to, either comment and add your rating, or (and this is recommended) send me an email about how much you like or dislike the recipe and what your rating is.  
• What about the posts following the YRT?
  The posts following the YRT will not be rated until the next YRT. If you don't get this, read the question "When do you rate them?" and if you still don't understand, read below.

I still don't understand!
OK, that's fine. Say, for example, I have ten posts. The following January, I do the YRT and rate all ten posts. Then, once I've rated all the posts I have, I'm done with that year's YRT. Then, after the YRT, I post some more recipes. I don't rate these because I've already done that year's YRT. These recipes I will rate the following year.

If you STILL don't understand, just contact me and ask all your questions. I'll try to answer them as much as I can. If you don't want to email, comment below and ask. Either way, I'll try to get back to you as soon as possible.

Hope this helps!
