PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.

Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue

"OT Cooking Club?" |
I've been tossing this idea around for a bit. We have so many food threads and I know most of us like to eat, so I was thinking we might have some interested in a Cooking Club. Run much the same way as Breezy's OTBC.Sign up if you're interested, if you want a specific week say so. Then when that week rolls around post your recipe - maybe on the Friday before so we can shop for ingredients over the weekend. We can then make the dish and review in the next week. I'm thinking it may help with some ruts we get into. Maybe start up October 1st? Ideas?

I think there should also be pics posted of the finished product, so those of us who are really bad cooks will have some idea of what it was actually supposed to look like.

Please oh please, yes.My crock pot and I have found true love, and I want to share it with everyone. Also, tonight I went balls-out with pan-seared lemon-thyme chicken, yukon mash, and pan-sauce with mirepoix. I am totally in the cooking spirit of things. One thing, though - I may have to sit out on dairy/pork things. Hope that's okay! Because this is closer to how I look...

Would a recipe every two weeks instead of every week be better for everyone?Isn't tweaking a must? Pics perferable but don't let it keep you from participating. Open enrollment, if you choose not to play now but want to later just let us know. Unless you request a specific time period I'm throwing you in a hat and assigning that way, so think about it. *wondering how to entice IceCat to play - I'm just coveting some more of his recipes

I think every other week would be good, so that gives people a couple of weekends as well as plenty of weeknights to make the dish. I get busy some weekends and may not have much time to cook, but I rarely have two busy weekends in a row.

I think the only rule should be, if you decide to share your saintly great grandmother's super awesome perfect-as-it-is recipe, don't be offended if people tweak it or don't like it or opt out of trying it. It's just food.I'm not sure if people are going to be posting family favorite tried and true recipes, or finding interesting-looking stuff online/in magazines that they haven't tried. I was thinking of it kind of like the book club where in a lot of cases the host hasn't read the book yet when they suggest it, so we all try it and review it together. I think if you tweak a recipe you should share your tweaks. Personally, I believe that any recipe, no matter how perfect, has room for variations and improvements. I don't have a grill, so if grill stuff is posted I'll be adapting it for the oven/stove. But that shouldn't stop people from posting grill recipes!

OK, all you want-to-have-cooking-pictures peeps, I just found the cutest step-by-step cooking website. It's like being in grandma's kitchen ...Here's Step 1 of "Making Gingerbread Men in 24 Steps":
Her name is Bernice. Is she cute or what? Mixing, Step 13 (note the antique Mixmaster, identical to my grandmother's!):
Step 18:
And here's Step 1 of making peach jam:
There's lots more and it's all a hoot: http://www.paulnoll.com/Oregon/Cooking/index.html Now picture me this evening making peach jam and looking much more cross, sweaty, and disorganized. Not to mention younger.

54. "RE: Summary So Far" |
New recipe/discussion every week or every two weeks?For me the weekend is the only time that I actually have hours to devote to cooking, rather than frying something off, boiling rice, steaming some veg and throwing a quick sauce together, so I would prefer every other week. However if we went with different courses each week that might be a different matter. Single dish, or meal? How many courses were you thinking of for a meal? Entrée, Fish or Meat and Sweet? For me I was thinking of a three course meal, however I am more than happy to just do a main course. If only single dish needed, main dishes only, or anything goes? I was expecting main courses, however not being a dessert chef (My puddings were going to be Eton Mess and Bread and Butter pudding) it might be interesting to learn something new

LAST EDITED ON 09-16-09 AT 12:34 PM (EST)Questions remaining: -New recipe/discussion every week or every two weeks? I'm either or - maybe start out with every other week to ease into it and then if everyone is bored and clamoring for more switch it to every week. Y'all vote and we'll go with majority rules. -Single dish, or meal? If you want to post a single dish - post a single dish. If you want to post a meal - post a meal. People can always choose whether they want to fix the whole shebang or not. -If only single dish needed, main dishes only, or anything goes? I think anything goes. I'd hate to miss out on a fabulous brulee just because we had a main dish rule. Remember the only rule is the "have fun rule". I'll assign weeks this weekend - so yell if you have a preference. eta a smooch for Welly for the summarization

Questions remaining: -New recipe/discussion every week or every two weeks? I'd prefer every week but am good either way -Single dish, or meal? Chef's choice. Maybe if making a main it would be good to suggest a suitable side but not have to do the recipe, a suitable beverage, etc -If only single dish needed, main dishes only, or anything goes? as above, if making a side perhaps suggest that it would go well with, for instance, roasted chicken. Not necesary to post the roasted chicken though. We tend to eat one meat dish, one veggie or starch side and no dessert.Will we be doing breakkies and lunches too? compliments of agman's little shoppe of siggies

-New recipe/discussion every week or every two weeks?I'm more of an every other week, but since it is about fun missing a week or two here or there isn't going to be a problem, or I may just catch up every so often. -Single dish, or meal? I'm thinking more single dishes but meal suggestions, wine parings, beer parings, etc might be really nice if you know what goes really well with the dish. -If only single dish needed, main dishes only, or anything goes? anything goes. And some really great side dishes can be made as a main dish with a few tweaks and some vegetarian main dishes may make a good side dish for those that prefer a meaty meal.
