Nor'Easter Cook Book

[Lynnvt]

Hi Folks,
Since we have such great pot luck dinners I thought it would be nice to share our wonderful recipes. If people will email or pm me their recipes, I will put it together and print it out and Doris said she would bind it. Maybe it's your favorite, maybe someone has asked you for the recipe or maybe somebody raved about it at a dinner. I will try to organize them, but I won't do a lot of proof reading.

Can we start with requests?

I request:

Karen's salsa recipe.

Ruth's sweet and sour meatballs.

Barb's Chicken Tarragon.

Sandy's Peach cobbler.

I already have and think they should put them in the book, Ruth's sausage soup (except I add potatoes instead of rice), Mo's kielbasa, cherry's and pineapple, and Nancy's coleslaw with ramen noodle salad.

[Lynnvt]

So far no recipes are coming my way yet. Is there an interest in the cookbook? And those of you Nor'Easters where the man in the family is the forum poster, please ask your wives if they think this is a good idea and would like to contribute.

[Captain Bud]

Ruth thinks it is a great idea. I'll have to get her to sit down and send her recipes...

I will bring some recipe's to the fall rally or do you want them sooner than that. Claire

[Frankie]

At the rally you can chase people down.I have several I would like to give and you can use all or pick a few.

[Doris]

Lynn needs them sooner, so she can disperse them at the rally. I'd like to put them in a booklet (she'll put them in some kind of order), and since I'll be Hawaii (I love saying that LOL) until just before we leave, I'd like to get them going long before that.

Oh, and Andrea..your dip..that's another recipe I'd like.
