Oh, that was back when I had a different name.

I looked under Beach Runner and your real name.
she has a real name?I looked under Beach Runner and your real name.
I'm hosting bunco tomorrow night,who has a very easy but good guacamole dip?? I doing taco type stuff.
Another quick thought. I don't remember who but a group composed a cookbook from my home town years ago and on each page are pictures of historical homes..blah blah blah. I think it would be cool to have pictures of our favorite area in the cookbook...Western Lake, Seagrove Villas for Miz Darlene, etc...I think peeps would want to purchase for the recipes as well as the sowal pics... random thought!
You are totally right. I have my Seaside cookbook that I bought over 10 years ago and I like using the recipes BUT I love looking at the photos! (especially the one of the Natchez pavilion that is no more)
Yes that could be a problem...;-)
Paula, we love your creative juices!! Yum on the ravioli!
What a grayt name!!
Me too! Especially certain landmarks that may be gone in the near future..Seaside Post office, especially decorated for Christmas, Seagrove Villas and Seagrove Village Market...I want photos of these for the house.
SoWal Wenches in the Kitchen (Can't really remember how you spell wench/winch? I think wench. What is a wench? Crazy woman on sowal? Refer to sowal dictionary.)
I saw a cook book at Sun Dog that was Skinny B _ _ _ _ in the kitchen.

What a great idea
I will be glad to help even though I don't live here. I would be happy to be a recipe tester---yum. Let us know when you are ready to get started.

I?ve been doing a lot of research about the proposed SoWal cookbook, timely since our Junior League is rolling out a new cookbook this weekend.
A cookbook in which everyone submits his/her favorite recipes, bound together in some manner, would be a really nice resource for SoWallers. This would work.
However, a coffee-table quality cookbook could be produced that could be a big seller to visitors as well as property-owners in SoWal. Imagine them stacked up along with the other souvenir, coffee-table books at Sundogs.
Therefore, in my opinion, first there needs to be a vision for the cookbook. We need a steering committee to propose some alternative visions. If one believes in a democracy, I think that the SoWal Nation needs to be polled and that the steering committee needs to determine the vision based upon this poll.
If the SoWal Nation decides to go for simple, we can just have funn and bind together a collection of SoWaller?s favorites.
If the decision is to go for a high-quality cookbook, funding will be needed. To get funding the steering committee would need to sell the vision along with a theme to accompany it. The steering committee would also need to decide the target audience. For example, one theme might be ?Beach Food,? that is, ideas for food you might cook at the beach, plus a section of recipes from restaurants from the area. The target audience would be all visitors to SoWal, plus property owners.
Once this is done, the vision would need to be sold in order to get funding. So there would need to be a development chairperson on the steering committee.
While the development committee gets an idea of how much funding is possible, a publisher can be chosen. It takes one-to-two years to get a high-quality cookbook off the ground. Publishers have workbooks to help cookbook committees finalize their themes, decide upon artwork, fonts, colors, etc. So there will also need to be an artistic chairperson to help with that and coordinate entries for the cover.
A form for recipe submissions will have to be decided upon with rules for submission. If this is going to be a high-quality cookbook, there probably should be some taste-testing, and thus someone to chair the taste-testing.
We'll also need a chef-type or uber-foodie to be the culinary chair to sort out the quality of the recipes.
A tedious part is editing the recipes. Cookbook publishers want all style stripped from content and want their own tags inserted for formatting. There will need to be an editor chairperson to take care of these details.
This is just the beginning. There will need to be a marketing chairperson and a sales chairperson once we?re into the process.
It can be funn both ways ? we can do a cookbook just for SoWallers, or we could do something really big. I personally am cool with either option. But if we want to do something really big, I am sure that collectively we have the expertise to make it a success.
