Yes isn't Cathy pretty? Now ya know what we look like so get your pic on here.I tried to get MJ to come on here,now maybe she will.

Yeaaaaaa Sky good to see ya over here.Hey get a paid membership cheaper than you know where.Than ya can get into our Fellowships.

Harley that sounds more like it than was brought up.

hey Cathy~how are ya~ ur very attractive~

it is me Cathy.. with all those fancy swirls!! LOL

Great to see ya!

Hi Foxy, its Sky how are you, I finally got over here~ I love ur pic~I needd to get one of me on~I am Gypsy here~

If it was just a printed recipe book, folded A4 pages maybe stapled in the middle, it would only cost for ink. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, the kids school does recipe books, about 4 or 5 A4 sheets, folded, and charge £1 each to raise money for the school.
We could also do joke books taken from the joke board.

BTW some tournys offer a 6 month membership if anyone wins.

First you need to gather alot of recipes to make a book.Who's going to publish it and you need a backer were talking money..Sounds like a good idea but i disagree about anyone being poor on this site or any other.If that was true i'd rather adopt a Family for Christmas.

Here's a good one with some other things added.

the message is above

Dolittle is right

Nobody would get brains for them unless they posted your ID number. And they wouldn't be paying for the membership so that wouldn't happen I guess.

then that would be great.. But, who gets the brains for them?

I agree with you Red44, I think it's a great idea and I would be willing to contribute some recipes and buy a cookbook as well!!

well since it was my idea I could do it or we could take a vote as to who does it but as I said to ScarletRose the money would go to help people who can't afford membership get a membership minus shipping ahd handling

Ok so what your saying is that you don't want to help the poor people get a membership here then because that is where the money would be going and nobody except the site would be making the money for this book of recipes to help poor people that would like a membership could get one

That could be a great idea.

well.. I think if my recipes go into a book that is making money.. I should get a piece of the pie.. So.. no ideas of a cookbook please..

That's a great idea but who is going to publish the cookbook!

so anybody here willing to start a cookbook that the site can sell to make money so that if someone does what to become a member but can't afford to then they could it would be something like a fund raiser to help the poor join as a member

Squash Braid Bread


1 package (1/4 oz) active dry yeast

1 cup mashed cooked butternut squash
1/3 cup warm milk (110* to 115*)

Yuk thats as bad as Squid.

I've just been at this restaraunt where they had scorpion on the menu. We ordered a couple and a few minutes later the waitress turned up with two scorpions standing side by side on a leaf, complete with claws, heads and stings. A cullinary lightyear from fish and chips.
