The chicken fried beef rib is fantastic, I usually get by for that dish, at the very least, each year.  The brisket gumbo is really good too.

And I'd like to try that pulled pork kolache, as well.

don't know what interest this will generate.... but... I'm making books now.... note: i'm damn sure not writing books... i'm 'making' them.

example:


so what i propose:

I'm going to make a series of 'guest books' for rentals over on the island... and a cookbook as it turns out. blank, obviously.

The books will be clad in Russian Birch as the one above is- however, the binder will be perforated and with sleeved bolts binding it... this allows it to be added to or reduced by the end user.  I figure to make the covers with 'windows' exposing the layer below for an added touch of what i will loosely and mockingly describe as 'class'... lol...

what i'd like to see- IF anyone here is interested...

I will post a format- basically a 'form'... if you would like to play along, you can download the form and populate it with your recipe before re-hanging it on the site... and become famous and irresistible to the ladies... perhaps rich.  or, maybe not.  likely not, actually.  i will collect them and add them to the book. 

there will be plenty of blank pages in the book to add your own personal recipes- or the ones you steal from your wives...

at some point this week, if there is any interests in this generated from this post, i'll post up pics of the bones of this book. 

I will have maybe $10 into each book.. i'd like to sell them for at least $15... all proceeds go to keeping the site running, which has been a negative endeavor since its inception.  this is well into year four... it's gotta be self sufficient at some point, and...........

this would be a killer way to do it.

thoughts?

edited to add:  this 'idea' is not mine- it belonged to @bwarbiany ... i just decided to apply some (mocking reference again) 'craftsmanship' to it.

So this would be the CFB51 cook book in print form?

I'd pay $50 for that, and I'd contribute to the content.

How many pages are you looking at?

Sections, like Italian, French, Korean, BBQ, German, etc?

Apps, sides, soups, salads, mains, dessert, bacon, etc.?

Do you have the ability to print full-color pages--hopefully glossy? I feel like that's somewhat important for a cookbook. 

But beyond that, it sounds awesome. As mentioned, I think there's a huge opportunity here for something that's marketed at the new college grad (a gift paid for by their parents/relatives of course) football fan. Recipes should of course include appetizers, mains, sides, etc. Some that are tailgate-friendly and some that are home-cooked. And it could totally include various "essays" for lack of a better word on basics of cooking, necessary equipment, etc etc etc...

I think we can all contribute various recipes. I can [and others might as well] offer writeups such as knives and knife care, various pros and cons of grills and smokers types, the starter kitchen equipment every new cook needs, etc...

BTW I think if we do it right, you should be able to pull in more than $15 ea.

Now we're talking something like Julia would write. I like it.

I cant print volume nor glossy... but... the print shop can.  Tabulation or sections are easy enough... 

We can proceed as the group decides- my idea was basically to bind it in my own creation, and allow recipes and such from this thread and our contributors, along with a bunch of blank pages for folks to add their own... sort of a cooking/smoking/grilling starter book... 

I love the idea about things folks don't talk about lot about... care of a good knife.. pros/cons of various types of smokers... how to select a good cut of beef/pork... pairing drinks.. these could be the breaks between sections... just a thought . 

I'll mock up a cover/binder... post it up.

Do you know that If you boil some bay leaves in a glass of water and taste it, it will have little to no flavor?

glad someone else tried that so I didn't need to.

Gotta throw in a plug for the Costco house brand tortellini. We made a tomato-tortellini soup last night that was fantastic, due in no small part to this. Really great stuff.

We use that stuff a lot [to the extent we ever eat pasta] as well. My wife makes a Greek tortellini salad that is really good. Super-easy, and delicious.
