Best of luck getting the book published! You must let us know when we can look for it on bookstore shelves. Sounds like a winner, especially all over the west and in the more mountainous regions of the east coast. My husband is a...

Last time I went camping (geez...it was before I left NY in 1998), I packed 2 home-made mixes. A couscous mix and a rice mix. You basically have to be able to dump the stuff into a pot with water. The actual recipes are sketchy but I...

Mezzaluna - When I used to live in NYC and worked 8-4, I got home about 4:45 and I prepared a meal every night as well (GOD I miss those days!). I'd buy a veal shoulder chop, quick brown it, add a can of cut up whole peeled tomatoes,...

This is an incredibly sore spot with me but as the creator of the recipes, either carefully scribed in your mind OR on paper, you own them. You used your recipes as a tool in your job, just like anyone with an accounting degree. If a...

Sounds like heaven on Earth!! Talk about the inside track on some great ingredients - I envy you. Is this going to be another Coach Farms in the making?? :rolleyes: . o O (I have GOT to get the heck out of FL!)
