Awwww... <sigh>
Ok... won't lurk...won't depart into the wild blue yonder for another
12 years.

Glad to hear it!

Quoted message said:

You and I seem to be on a similar wavelength, judging by the recent
posts... great minds think alike (or, as my kids never fail to remind
me... fools never differ. Yet another good reason for fool-proof
contraception, IMHO....hehehe)

Yes, we do. hehehe, that's funny!

Quoted message said:

Did you manage to track down a spicy chutney ?

I'll be shopping later today, so will take a look. I've got a couple of
places that might be more apt to have it.

Quoted message said:

Will definitely be giving Abby's Famous Penuche Fudge a trial!

I think you'll like it. It's very close to my grandmother's recipe, IIRC,
but I couldn't find hers. It was always a big hit.

Cheers!

I'd be willing to work on one as well. I've got a couple new recipes

sharing recipes!

Heh.

I wonder if we'd have enough of an interest in people buying
the books. I'm not feeling the momentum.

I would buy a few, and I would submit a recipe or two gladly :-)

I'd buy at least one, probably two, and I'd be happy to submit recipes.
Also to help out - converting measurements again or proofreading or
whatever needs doing.

I had no idea a RFC cookbook - original or second/third....etc edition
- even existed! Is/are it/they still available?
Would love a copy if so!

LadyJane

Mimi's website is still very active. And Mimi has a cookbook store in
Santa Clarita, in the Los Angeles area.

http://www.cookbooksplus.com/

She was just changing locations of her store, last I talked to her...I
think this is the new address.

Christine

I would be very happy to help in some way with a brand new cook book,
why redo something when you can do something new?? Everyone probably
has a lot more recipes they could send in.

As far as the Charity--- not really will about Katrina, have seen a
lot of abuse of Katrina Funds, maybe something really specific would
work.

Perhaps something like Habitat for Humanity has something
going especially for Katrina? Or should we stick to a food
charity. Probably. Second Harvest of New Orleans? Or
maybe some other community that isn't getting the spotlight
that New Orleans is.

Just musings.

Either of those sound good to me, I am sure with all the creative
minds around here something could be agreed on.... well.... maybe not

Hee hee ... actually, when push came to shove, a lot of people
managed to work together in harmony to get the last book done.
Only spats came about after all the work was done and people
who didn't lift a finger to get it done suddenly had strong opinions.

We get along just fine when we have to. Strange bedfellows and
all that.

We have so many new folks now. Do you think another cookbook is in order?
Many of the new folks have a lot to offer. I doubt Victor would want to
organize it again but maybe I'm wrong. Victor is a very good organizer. It
was a pretty big effort and I'm not sure if anyone is up to it. I'll help
edit again. I might even help with distribution in the Midwest. I think
a
Katrina effort would be worthwhile. Maybe I'm just way off base.

I think we have the process much streamlined from what we learned
the first time. Second time should be easier (sounds like we're talking
about having a baby, doesn't it?).

I'd be willing to pitch in, just not as treasurer. Not because of the
work, because it seems best.

Yeah, but... then who better can I trust with my wallet?

be, why does she always want to do the money, hmmmm?
I'd do it if no one else volunteered.

I would buy two this time. I honestly couldn't afford to buy one last
time, and I was generously gifted with one. I would also happily
contribute something new.

Chicken. Baked potatoes. Sour Cream. Bacon. Broccoli. Sounds great.
Then Fudge?
ewww,,, chicken and fudge... it does NOT compute.
Unless you are pregnant of course. Which I definetly am NOT! (seriously
hope so at least!)

Although... now you mention it... chicken and chocolate... so many
possibilities.
(Admits to being menopausal and ALSO in her last 40th year... maybe
that has some relevance... ) Any chicken/chocolate recipes floating
around out there... dare I ask?

Chicken Mole'? :-)

Right now, I think that the newer RFCers are just feeling frustrated
that they weren't involved the first time around and that it's nearly
impossible to come by a hard copy of the book.

If we had someone who was willing to mastermind this whole thing and
someone else to act as treasurer, I'll bet there'd be some strong
momentum.

I agree with an earlier poster about contributing in some way to a
hurricane relief organization.

I know I'm chucking in another thought, but whatever happened to
the talk about T shirts a few months ago? It died.

Wow. Give that girl a medal - no, make it two!
You mean the headaches have finally gone away? Out of compassion, I feel
that this time it's a job for someone else.

Good to see you back! I went on a long hiatuse also and came back in
the 90s. I don't know if anyone has an extra copy of the cookbook.
My extras have all been given as gifts.

Michael

I actually have two extra copies, although one has already been designated
to go to Joseph Littleshoes. I still have to get to the post office to
figure out how much it will cost to ship and I guess I'll figure out how to
use my rusty (not trusty!) Paypal account. The cost might be prohibitive to
mail one to Australia for Lady Jane, though.

You're kidding. How'd that happen? What'd I miss?

If I remember correctly, before we came out with a second edition,
someone asked the posters on rfc to indicate whether they would be
interested in buying copies of the second edition and how many. The
response was very enthusiastic and the second edition was sold out, as
was the first one.

We would probably want to do the same thing, if we wanted to think of
a third edition. But, first of all, we would have to find an
organizer and coordinator, a job which Victor handled so ably and
graciously for editions one and two.

You *so* didn't miss it. It was about the online version.
