In the invitation they have asked me to help create a cookbook by sending a recipe on 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper. I have no problem with doing that, but here is the problem.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2002 Report Share Posted July 19, 2002 Rita, That sounds like a lot to ask for a shower. If you don't use the computer for that sort of stuff, you can buy individual sheets of bordered paper in a craft store. Look for one that has food (i.e., wine and grapes) on the border. Then simply hand write your recipe. Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 19, 2002 Report Share Posted July 19, 2002 Hey Rita! I have an idea. Use my carrot cake recipe(the one I made for the Ct. Connection) then take a picture of eating it,sound good? Thanks for the idea . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 19, 2002 Report Share Posted July 19, 2002 Hi Rita, If you go to Kinko's with the recipe and maybe a picture of you cooking, or eating??? or maybe a picture of the finished dish (I always like to see what a recipe looks like before trying it). Ask the Kinko's staff to help you make the page pretty and laminate it (so spills wipe off). It would also be nice to have a personal note to the bride and groom written on the page and sign it...Love...Your favorite Aunt (Rita) This sounds like a wonderful shower idea. I might have to try this one myself. My son is getting married in September and his new bride to be might appreciate some family recipes.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2002 Report Share Posted July 19, 2002 Hi Rita, I agree with Liz. It kind of depends how formal you want your presentation to be. My most precious recipes are ones handwritten by my Mom on " not so fancy " sheets of notebook paper. My Dad also had some favorite recipes and I typed them on decorative recipe cards. Now, I am so sorry I did that and I'd give a million dollars to have his handwritten ones that I threw away. I was much younger then. Even if the bride-to-be doesn't seem nostalgic now, I'll bet she will be someday, and will cherish your gift. Some pretty paper is a nice idea, but to me, your handwriting makes it priceless.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2002 Report Share Posted July 22, 2002 Hi : I had so many responses and wonderful idea's regarding the recipe, and not being the least bit crafty, I decided to go to a local craft store and see what I could come up with. I didn't want to go to a lot of expense, tried to keep simple. I found a section of the store that had what they called " memory paper " . And what did I find but a paper that had wine, cheese, grapes, sausage printed at the bottom with a lovely border. I was able to print the recipe on this " chicken cacciatore " (not carrot cake), and I found a nice picture of and I and I added to the recipe, and it came out really nice. Mailed it out this morning. Thanks to all of you others who gave me so many wonderful ideas. I printed every single one of them and will reference them if the need arises.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2002 Report Share Posted July 23, 2002 Rita, Now you owe us all your recipe! I love chicken cacciatore and haven't found a recipe that is equal to the one my grandmother used to make. I'd bet your is really good. I have a very famous carrot cake recipe I'd be happy to share. Sounds like your recipe page will be a big hit. I suggested the same to a couple of relatives and I think we are going to try to do it for my son and his bride.a Thomson Solana Beach, Ca Visit www.als-pls.org and www.geocities.com/mdmfoo/pls.html Re: Need Advice Hi : I had so many responses and wonderful idea's regarding the recipe, and not being the least bit crafty, I decided to go to a local craft store and see what I could come up with.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2002 Report Share Posted July 23, 2002 Ok, here it is: CHICKEN CACCIATORA 2 pounds of cut up chicken* 2 ounces of salt pork, diced 1/2 pound of onions, peeled and diced 1/4 cup olive oil 1/4 cup butter or margarine 2 garlic cloves, mashed 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary 10 fresh sprigs of parsley, leaves only 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 28 ounce can of plum tomatoes 1 tablespoon tomato paste Cut chicken into pieces. Combine oil, salt pork and butter in a good sized pot; heat. Add onions and brown slowly. Add chicken pieces and brown for 10 minutes. Add garlic, rosemary and parsley and ad to the chicken, along with the pepper and salt; stir well for 30 minutes. Check for cooking and salt. DO NOT OVER-COOK! This chicken is delicious over freshly cooked pasta on the same plate, serves 4. *I have also made this with boneless chicken & Italian sausage. I cut the chicken into pieces and parboil the sausage and cut them into 3 or 4 pieces. I love mushroom, and I always add them to just about everything I cook, but thats a matter of choice. Off all the recipes I have cooked over the past 40 years of marriage, this is by far my favorite. We ought to do this more often, beats talking about aches and pains. Now don't yell at me for saying that, you know how sensitive I am LOL! Enjoy! Rita Luv & Hugs! ************************************* Some people succeed in spite of their handicap.
