editrx's Cookbook!

Sep 27, 2009 21:00

Right, so....as some of you are aware, I've been forced volunteered to help edit the cookbook for editrx. This will be seriously entertaining, because I've never actually written a cookbook before. But I'm game to try.

Explanation for those who haven't been following along )

cooking, baking

I'm going to probably be spamming you several times a week for the next several weeks. My recipes are really my own and I don't have the amounts in my head, so I'll have to note amounts when I make them next.

Will there be a vegetarian section?

Also, you might want to look into create Google Forms to help you keep all this stuff in a database without having to copypasta everything or enter it by hand.

Oh, the heartache of it.

It depends entirely on how many vegetarian recipes we get. If nothing else, I'm happy to mark recipes as vegetarian/vegan/dairy/whatever.

Also, you might want to look into create Google Forms to help you keep all this stuff in a database without having to copypasta everything or enter it by hand.

Yeah...I'm not overly familiar with Google Forms. I might have to test it out when it comes to the recipe testing, at least, especially if there are edits involved. I know there's been some Google Forming with keeping track of who's doing what already.

It worked fabulously for the remix, and now I am *all about* using forms whenever I need to get specific information from internet denizens.

Are you going to include some joke recipes? Like that really aawesome one with a bottle of whiskey and every 2nd instruction is to test the whiskey for quality? That would be a hysterical addition to the cookbook :)

We're thinking probably not. You're welcome to send it in, but if we have a lot of recipes, we might not use it.

(But yes, I like that recipe too. I suspect there are people who would want to test it, certainly.)

YAY!

This sounds like a lot of fun and I'll be going through my family recipe book for some choice selections :)

Might I suggest that, if you decide to use photographs as art, to have the recipe-testers take them if they were not included? It will kill two birds with one stone!

Yup, that's listed in the recipe tester section above - it's why I ask if the tester has a digital camera! :) Ah, the things you never knew were part of a well-stocked kitchen.....

Haha. Pardon me, my brain is a bit muddled from working with The Glass Menagerie today. I totally read that. :)

Oh, I haven't read The Glass Menagerie in ages. Not one of my faves, but not bad. And will certainly turn your brain to goo. :)

I look forward to this. I'll donate a few recipes and test some as well :D

You've got mail (one of two, actually).

Regarding 3--I can't draw to save my life, but I can take pictures. Lots, and lots, and lots of pictures.
