First minus YTT means that she did not use the 12 ingredients from the recipes that came out with YTT. And the previously eliminated ingredients means that she did not redo combos that have already been done. This is called a partial combo and is back dated.

For example let's say you wanted to try Chicken noodle soup(CNS) + Chocolate Bar(CB). A normal combination would be 95 CNS and 95 CB and one of each other ingredient in the W-shop. That combo would have today's date and would apply to all unsolved recipes. But if you are just working on YTT you could do a partial combo. First look at Amneris's list and see what has been tried with CNS after YTT came out (I believe 8/07). If Almonds + CNS was tried, then you would not need to test Almonds with CNS + CB because the same combo has already been done (IE Almonds + CNS + CB). So after you go through Amneris list you see that CNS has been tried(hypothetically....I haven't checked this) with 50 ingredients already (make sure it is dated AFTER YTT came out......you can not skip combos that were done before YTT). Then you can skip the 12 ingredients that were used in the same set as YTT (Again this is a theory that isn't proven....but we do it anyway). So you can eliminate 50 + 12 = 62 ingedients. So you would only need to buy 33 CNS + 33 CB (95-62) and 1 of each of the ingredients that haven't been tried yet. This is called a partial combo and the date would be 10/01/07......and it would not be valid for the newer recipes. ONLY YTT.

Does that make sense????? I know it's complicated, but once you've been doing it for a while it gets easier.

Thanks, you explained it perfectly!!!

1. Look at monkeecj's thread, All W Shop..... and on there is a list of all ingredients that have been eliminated from YTT....I have those memorized, LOL.

2. I go to Amneri's list and go down the entire list to see what has been tried with a specific item.

Then I make my list from there.

Like this morning I made another list for spaghetti, there are only 40 ingredients that have not bee tried with spaghetti, so my first combo was 40 spag + 40 bread and the 40 wshop ingredients that have not been tried with spaghetti yet.


It looks like I do a lot of cooking but as hptigerlily said, they are partial combos and some could include 33 ingredients, others 45...etc.....it depends on what has already been tried.

Hope we answered your questions, once you do it a few times it comes very easy.

Yes, I get it now... I think I'll do full combos, though, because I'd just get lost! LOL

Thanks again!

It is always best to do full combos at first until you feel comfortable. I did start with partial combos, but I had been hanging around these parts for about 3 months before i actually did a combo so I read almost everything and had a general idea of how to proceed. I did make a minor mistake which was easily corrected with guidance from everyone here. Good Luck Wiz.

If i am correct, then apples is completely eliminated, except for almonds, but we did almonds+apples+ee when we did all the almonds recipes! Therefore, apple is over! HOORAY! Onto the next set, now that i got money! YAY!!!

Yes, I think that apple + corn flakes was the last one and I finished that yesterday I think!

Hmmm, I just had an idea. What if we posted the eliminated combos in 2 places? That way, we could get this done twice as fast! For example, if someone posted, almonds+apple+ee, you could post that as almond+apples+ee AND apple+almonds+ee! Then we get it done twice as fast! We only need to do it once, instead of twice! What do you think?
