You know, funny you should mention that... at work yesterday, a group of ladies was selling recipe books for $10 in the lobby. I enquired about them, and they explained it was for a cancer charity, and all the recipes came from people in the building... like a business cookbook. I bought one without even looking through it, well, because after this year of everyone close to me getting cancer, I figured it was the least I could do...
Anyway, I got the cookbook home and started flipping through it. I was horrified to see 76 pages of casseroles, meatloafs, and baked beans. Seriously, I'm not kidding... mind you, I would have donated the $10 anyway, so value wasn't really an issue - but I was still flaberghasted that in a building with 2000 employees, NOBODY CAN COOK? Man, if they had asked me, I could have donated at LEAST twenty recipes that would blow away anything and everything they printed. Not that I think I'm a superb chef, I mean, the only other two guys I know that cook (Sage and Keith) both blow me completely out o' the kitchen - but geez, 76 pages of casseroles and meatloafs? I REALLY wanted to go back tomorrow and say "hey, next year, ask me for some recipes - here's my card... call me. Seriously, your cookbook is pathetic.
Yeah, so to make a short story long, I love to cook - I'm not saying I'm a 'chef' I'm just saying I like to try out new and interesting things... and when I come across a gem, I make a mental note that I might want to make that again. Yes, I have an awesome tuna casserole recipe, and Carole DOES ask me to make it on occasion, 'cause she loves it so much, but that's not the kind of thing I'm proud of. Now my potato salad, THAT's a winner, and my prawn and sugar-pea salad in light curry-mayo dressing... mmmmmm... sounds simple, and it is - but the taste combination is totally amazing - I'm drooling now just thinking about it!
So, tell me, what kinda recipes are you looking for? I'll post my faves here if you like, (beats talking about that crazy war thing!) and you can tell me how they turn out!
