What a wonderful idea.
I have some great recipes I've developed myself but their not really ren style recipes.

I actually created and published my own magazine for 4 years - sold in barnes and noble nationwide and everything.
So I could help with layout and the like.

I agree.......a CD could be copied, then why we are doing this as a group, would be in vain.
Print is much better!
I do not have period recipies, but am willing to send what I have..

I can contribute my recipes for Chicken Michiel and Lemon/Rosemary Cornish game hens.

Not ren-related, but I'd be willing to share my grandmother's lasanga recipe and my modified-from-another-recipe guacamole recipe.

I would love a copy! They would make great holiday gifts, too! I don't have any period recipes to share, but I'd be happy to share what I do have. Another suggestion for a section in the book too, it would be great to share some tailgate recipes/ recipes that travel well for meals &snacks on the road or in the lot :)

Well I would think that if everyone writes their recipes in word and saves them as .rtf files that would be a great way to start.
There should probably be a format for everyone to follow to make things easier.
Like making sure to include all the ingredients and spices, temperatures, etc.

Rather than post an email on here that would get me spammed to Morocco and back, I'd like to set up a process for submitting your files (web programming is what I do for a living), but again...it's semester startup time, and I'm a little pressed for time. For the moment, we'll keep it simple:

If you want to submit via cut-and-paste into a private message, that's fine. If you'd rather send a document, PM me, and I'll give you my email that way, then you can email your document to me. If you PM me, please provide your email eddress so that I can send proofs, when I get to that point. Your email eddresses WILL NOT be made available to anyone else. If you aren't comfy with that—realizing that you don't actually know me—I'll devise another method of getting things back and forth. But let it be known that I deal with sensitive private information daily as part of my work. Now accepting recipes...

I might suggest that you decide whether or not you want your real name to appear in the credits, but I would like to use the name of your persona at the very least. For those that may not want even that, you could be listed as Friend of RESCU.

Once I get enough recipes to start a sorting process, I'll begin grouping and provide a list out here. That may help jog a few braincells.

There are not restrictions on the submission other that probably keeping the ingredients legal. If need be, we can distribute an ABT Brownie recipe in private  ;)  Federal Marshals note: That was a joke. Dustin: Ren-related is not a prerequisite.

I will go through the posts again later in the week and try to summarize offers of recipes, and of expertise.... Auryn has offered layout help.... As things come up, I'll be asking for everyone's input. We'll see how things go the first couple of weeks, and if we're having problems, we'll adjust.  Lady Kett and Auryn, since you've offered proofing and layout services respectively, if you're ok with PMing me your email eddresses, I'll be able to pass things to you as I get them in a workable form.

...and..THEY'RE OFF!

Hey there,
My finacee and I were talking about this last nite-we would be glad to contribute our Camping and Ren recipies.
Our choice would be print.

I have a wonderful mostaccoli recipe I would submit if we are not restricting to ren related recipes.

Merlin the Elder

We have set no restrictions.  Ren-related may be a section, but in addition to spreading our favourite recipes around, we're going to try to raise some money for a worthy cause.

Gwen aka Punstergal

Think anyone would be interested in a blurb on prolonging the life of your food items? Maybe a "Helpful Hints"-style list of Do's & Dont's? I'm pretty sure I have one around her somewhere that was made up for an energy/efficiency forum a couple years back.

Merlin the Elder

I know I would. Bring it on, Gwen! Good idea.

The lines are open! You may begin sending!
If you have a submission, PM me with your email and I'll send you my email eddress to which to send.

Please do not put your email eddress (or mine) out here on the forum. It's not the R/F community that's a problem, it's outsiders that use these forums for spamming.
