[heatemyfather]

I'm afraid the only recipe I know involves beans and toast.

[smiffy49er]

Wow
Beans and Toast together ??

You live well pmsl

[bykimbo]

LOL you do love your cryptic subject lines, don't you!?

[moonwitch]

I'm afraid the only recipe I know involves beans and toast.

I microwave the beans....hate washing up saucepans

[smiffy49er]

LOL you do love your cryptic subject lines, don't you!?

I just wanted people to look :D:D

[somersethedge]

I microwave the beans....hate washing up saucepans

and I burn the toast

[smiffy49er]

I bet Pam is so looking forward to the recipe book lol

We may even teach Nigel to cook

[XCESSBAGGAGE]

You can get beans in little plastic pots, that go straight into the micro wave now.

Very handy~:)

[Fossy]

I've just sent you 2 recipes.... enjoy

[BabsnRay]

It took me a while to find the new thread - got to the other one and it was locked, so started to panic - :eek:

not really .


I've got sewing that I'm in the middle of right now, but I'll be sorting a few recipes and sending them accross to you this evening.

There will be more, but they need to be weighted and measured before I put pen to paper.

Whats up Jay, dont you want to give out your "Whippet and Cloth Cap" stew recipe with "Ferrett and Black Pudding Dumplings"? :eek::eek:

[RonOne]

Easy way to camouflage the taste of burnt toast.
Add an oxo cube to the beans,
or mustard, garlic salt, maybe even herbs or spices.
Make it really thick and goo'y, add some cheese.

Baked beans are so versatile.

[PATRIOT73]

Whats up Jay, dont you want to give out your "Whippet and Cloth Cap" stew recipe with "Ferrett and Black Pudding Dumplings"? :eek::eek:
yup..........:p

[meebo1]

I am still working on the quantities bit;)

[TheFaerie]

Fabulous idea - off to sort a few for you now!:)

[smiffy49er]

Thank you so much to the people that have sent recipes today.

It is starting to come together.

[JudesNiceThings]

When you use the link in post #1, it still shows '7 recipes recieved'

I sent some the other day when it was saying that - hope they arrived!

[youmeus]

Are there any catagories that you need more recipes for. I am an avid cook and could send whatever you need the most.

[smiffy49er]

Anything and everything :D

So whatever takes your fancy;)

[Booksandstuff]

Just send you another one smiffy (hope you can find a place for it in the book) I trust you have received the desert one by now?
Off to type out my seafood recipe now.

[JudesNiceThings]

I have just sent you 1 x Welsh one, and 2 x economy savoury ones.
(they are in 'Word' format)

[craig7501]

and I burn the toast

you burn toast???? thought you burnt bread

[smiffy49er]

I have just sent you 1 x Welsh one, and 2 x economy savoury ones.

Got them Jude Thank you. :D

[smiffy49er]

Got both of them thank you Marianne :)

[BabsnRay]

Just sent a few to you as promised - although - a little later than I intended. Sorry. I seem to be inundated with different things at the moment - stuff that needs doing, stuff I want to do, and stuff that I've promised to do - its a juggling act to get things done.

Next time I'm doing some of the others I want to send you, I'll take notes as I'm making them, so I can send them to add.

If there's any problems with the email recipes, please don't hesitate to let me know. Thanks

[TexasAda]

Smiffy, I sent 8 recipes late this afternoon which I guess is late Monday night for you. Hope you got them. I sent them in plain text format in this order: name of recipe, ingredients, method. There are plenty more where they came from but I suspect 8 recipes from each eBidder would be more than you need.

What about a Texas chili recipe:rolleyes:

[meebo1]

Are you offering, harold?

Harold that sounds great.
We only have one recipe from a male KTer

[BabsnRay]

Got them thank you very much;)


Did you get mine second time around??

I re-sent them about 2 hours ago.

[PATRIOT73]

What about a Texas chili recipe:rolleyes:
http://www.spanalaskasales.com/media/stag-chili.GIF

[harold69]

Are you offering, harold?
No, but i am betting Ada could come up with one:p

[harold69]

http://www.spanalaskasales.com/media/stag-chili.GIF
Thanks Jay, you da man, but not from a can. You can eat real Texas chili with a fork. Can't everyone make it or eat it, kind of in the hot variety.:p

[harold69]

My Grandma taught me to cook, a tad of this and a shake of that, maybe a pinch of this. I think her recipies were whatever she had available to cook with. And it was always delicious

[TexasAda]

Go for it with the Texas Chili, Harold. I can't eat hot food very well anyway, plus it seems most of the best early Texans were born in Tennessee!

[Booksandstuff]

Got sidetracked last night on my seafood recipe. Email came in from son, which needed attending to and still haven't typed it out.

When do you want the recipes in by, smiffy?

I am going to be extremely busy the next week or so and then I'm off on my hols - try to get round to it before then, but can't guarentee it.

[brishada]

HI all

Just wanted to bump the Thread, I know Smiffy’s got alot going on, so I’m sure she won’t mind a helping hand……

I’ve put approx. 37 recipes into the book so far…we’re up to about page 32 including section headings and the cover…so anyone got any more recipes???

We’ve only got 1 cereal, 1 salad and 1 drink recipe I think, sweets are filling up nicely, main meals growing by the day.

If necessary we may have to resort to my 101 variations of toast!!!!!!!!!!! Believe me, you really don‘t want that…………ask my hubby!!!!!!!!!!!

Blessings
Sharon

[bykimbo]

Can't help with the cereal, but I'll send more salads and drinks.

[bykimbo]

p.s. contact email address for recipes is here: http://www.bykimbo.com/ebid/cookbook.htm

Hopefully she got the ones I sent - I do have a few more lined up, but for some I need to do the weights & measures bit before I put pen to paper.

[brishada]

Hopefully she got the ones I sent

Yes she did Babs, they have been placed in the book!

Blessings
Sharon

[meebo1]

I have just sent the 1st one. A variation on toast:D

[morganjeans]

do they have to be our own recipes that we made up or can they be ones we like to cook

also can they include things from jars i.e a curry paste etc

[Fossy]

Harold that sounds great.
We only have one recipe from a male KTer

Did you not get the 2 I emailed through?

[JudesNiceThings]

I've sent you a Spanish dessert one!

(Sidetracked at present - watching Miss Havisham getting all burned up!! LOL)

[brishada]

Did you not get the 2 I emailed through?

Obviously Smiffy either: a) thinks you or DantheMan isn’t a real Man or b) she can’t add up!!!!! If it’s the latter, then I don’t think I’ll be trying any of her recipes???? :D:D:D:D

Blessings
Sharon

[pearlygirl555]

Is there a deadline by which we must have our recipies in?

[brishada]

Is there a deadline by which we must have our recipies in?

Hi Pearly!

She hasn’t mentioned one to me, I don’t think she has set one YET, I could be wrong though. I don’t think Smiffy is around today, we’ve only got about 32 pages so far…you can always PM her

Blessings
Sharon

[smiffy49er]

Now for the apologies ;
I am sorry that I cannot tell my sexes apart lol.Of course we have more that 1 male recipe. Put it down to the fact I have a lot on my mind at the moment or that I am stupid. Take your pick

[bykimbo]

[maplegin]

well done sharon.

[smiffy49er]

[smiffy49er]

Just a bump to remind you.

[smiffy49er]

I would like to share some fantastic news with you all as an incentive to get those recipes in.
Thanks to the fantastic generosity of Maple and Somer (Pam and Nigel) who have donated £150 towards getting the book printed. Round of applause please..
It now means that I will pay the rest so ......every penny made from the book will be profit.
Now I'm sure you want to part of this. Get your recipes in NOW !!!
Thankyou so much to all the other people that are helping too. You know who you are xxx

[maplegin]

We did it because wanted to do something towards your great effort & thought it was one way we could help, am afraid neither of us can concentrate for long and receipes are not my strong point, its always a bit of this & a bit of that, & not up to trial & error at the moment, so hoped it was one way so we could give usefully towards everyones great efforts.so thanks to you smiffy & everyone elses efforts the profits will then go to the bc charity, which as you can guess is very near to my heart at present, so its also a big thank you smiffy to you & your helper.

[bykimbo]

Super dooper. Nothing to stop it being a wow now. Well, except the average ebid cooking ability. ;)

Yes, that would be a great opener to describe the forums

I've not necessarily got a lull, but a bit more free time tomorrow, so I'll sort out a few more receipes for you. Are there any that you think we specifically need, or are short of?? Are there any you don't particularly need. I'd hate to duplicate something thats already been sent in.

Babs I think we need some more main courses. You know from the YDC's what a sweet tooth we all have so we have lots of those. Mains or savouries but it doesn't really matter .We do not have an editor standing over us :D:D

[maplegin]

Thats a lovely verse Jean, yes it needs to be in the book

[brishada]

Bumping……update

We’re up to about 43 pages so far!

Cheers Charyn - Sorry I'm late catching up with this - I woke up with a dreadful headache that wouldn't let me do anything so went back to bed with a gel pad and cold flannel on my head to cool the blood flow which helps to reduce the headache to a functionable level - oh and the dogs to cuddle me in.

I'll sort out some savouries later this evening / tonight and email them through for you.

Does it have to be tried and tested by me? I have one that I have been meaning to make and not done so, but ate the finished result on holiday one year and it was yummy. Then hunted for the recipe, found it and not made it - yet:o

If you know it's good and you know how it's made, that seems enough to me. If I had my friend's tiramisu recipe I'd pass that on - I used to love that!

[meebo1]

I can give you one for Tiramisu - often requested by some dinner guests:D

[bykimbo]

One for the book then, please?! :D

[meebo1]

OK. on todays to-do list

[smiffy49er]

Woohoo
Tiramisu I love it

[meebo1]

I thought someone had added this already (Don't know why I would think that)

[JudesNiceThings]

I've just sent a couple more.

[meebo1]

I have just emailed the Tiramisu recipe and one for a cold soup (summer is coming) I might just get a chance to try the soup one before it is too late for a recall:D

Pretty please.

[pearlygirl555]

Sorry Pearly it isn't personal honest :D


Didn't think it was, just feared that the mailbox had closed because the deadline had passed :eek:

Maybe I missed it but couldn't find Franks cover, so instead I made this for the YDC....I can always do another with the actual cover next month.

er... are people starting to sell this before it's even made? :confused: Sorry, I've probably missed something - having to hit "mark read" even more than usual just at the moment.

Have you sent your email yet ’cos I haven’t got anything in my mailbox. Are you able to send ANY emails?

Kimbo,
I think Pearly has made a square for the quilt.

Why should I be the only one confused?? If you are confused it means I am in good company :D:D

[pearlygirl555]

Hi Kimbo!
The quilt block is just another one for the Xmas YDC quilt, the winning bidder would have their name on the bottom of it like the others that have been made and won by various people these past few months. The blocks I've done so far have had "ebid community stuff" as kind of a loose theme, did an Australian Bushfire Relief one, last month was a Kitchen Table one....so, this is just one along those lines. :)

Hi Sharon!
Didn't get any recipies sent last night, we're loading up for a huge show in Kansas City. In fact, Mark is screeching at me now to get off the computer. I'll take the recipies with me to KC, we have internet access in the hotel room so I'm hoping to send them to you from there. :eek:

[smiffy49er]

Just a bump to remind you the deadline for recipes is 10pm Sunday 26th.

Get busy with the last push.

[bykimbo]

Thanks both for the explanation - I'm with you now! :)

[starlady22]

Pam Many thanks for taking the time to read and leave a comment - your comment is now live for all to see.

Thanks again

Babs i've left a couple of messages on your lenses. I think they are great :)

Thanks Jane - for taking the time to stop by the lenses, read them and leave kind messages.

I've been into them and they should be live now.

Thanks again

[BabsnRay]

charyn - will sort out more recipes this weekend - not bootsaling - weather too rotten so in a way it gives me more time to sort them without the last lap Joe panic.

[smiffy49er]

You have 12 hours and counting. lol

[BabsnRay]

Charyn - have you get the 2 batches that I sent yesterday?

[smiffy49er]

Charyn - have you get the 2 batches that I sent yesterday?

Yes Babs got them safe and sound.

Sharon has not been in touch so I think she managed with the scanned ones :D

She is magic at doing it all;)

[BabsnRay]

Thanks Charyn - at least I know those batches got to you without hiccup.

[meebo1]

I wish I could remember what I sent:eek: I think it was 3 in total, (or 4?) but a reminder would be much appreciated

[brishada]

Yes Babs got them safe and sound.

Sharon has not been in touch so I think she managed with the scanned ones :D

The scans are good enough to be able to read, so I can retype them, no worries!

By the way Babs, there is a reference to sauces on pages 203 and 205, do you want to include those or just exclude that bit in brackets and let them use their own, if they have one?

Oh hadn't thought of that - I'll dig out the book and scan some of the sauces - they'll be handy - especially if there isn't any in the book.

[smiffy49er]

Does anyone know which will be the cheapest way to send the cook book to USA. I know we don't know the weight yet but is there a printed paper rate or some such thing.?

Printed paper rate was scrapped in the latest price rise.

[JudesNiceThings]

I have sent you a couple more - British cooking!

[meebo1]

If they are not in a hurry, it could be sent surface mail. But that doesn't necessarily make a lot of difference to the price

Pages on the way now - any problems, drop me a line.

[lejoueurdepipeau]

Four recipes just sent from me! Hope you receive them OK.

[smiffy49er]

Jude and Lynne all received. Thank you

[smiffy49er]

Thanks to all who have contributed to the book
Sorry to anyone who has missed the boat but who knows there may be a sequel

[somersethedge]

just to let you know..... I took the first retail order for 10 copies (well its a start) yesterday with a promise of more if they sell

[JudesNiceThings]

Could I politely ask that when everything is rounded up and the book is ready to issue (?),there is a new thread to give all the relevant details?

It will have more impact on new readers than having to wade through 17 pages! LOL:D

[brishada]

Calling Smiffy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have sent you some queries m’dear by email!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Blessings
Sharon

P.S. I’ve sorted it with Kimbo, by the way!

My dear girl, I wouldn't even buy most of the ingredients. Of course, if you'd made it a veggie book I'd have been rattling the pans like nobody's business. Honest Guv. ;)

[BabsnRay]

I can't wait to see the finished book - I'm eagerly waiting for a copy for myself and I'm sure everyone else it too.

I think its amazing what you've organised and pulled everyone together to get this large project off the ground. A big well done is due.

[brishada]

Hi Folks

ANYONE got a smallish SALAD recipe PLEASE……………………? It’s all I need to finish the book………

Blessings
Sharon

[bykimbo]

Swedish style potato salad

Peel and boil potatoes until soft, using unsalted water.
Drain, then "rinse" in well-salted boiling water.
Leave to cool.
Chop to bite-sized pieces.
Combine with good mayonnaise and finely chopped pickled gherkin.

All quantities to personal taste!
