RFC Website Thoughts

(S'mee AKA Jani) said:

I got to thinking about the RFC cookbook the other day, and
thought that we should have a copy of it on the group's web
site. I looked, and John (levelwave) who hosts the site does
have some signature recipes, which is very cool:

http://www.recfoodcooking.org/signature.php

But I think having all of the recipes in the cookbook there would
be great, especially since there are no copies left, IIRC. Any
thoughts?

It was discussed to death at the time we were printing the cookbook, and
people didn't want to do it. My personal opinion is that enough time has
passed since the printing of the book that posting the recipes would do no
harm. The book will never be re-printed, to the best of my knowledge.

It was also discussed making it available on CD but the majority felt an
actual book would make a better gift for friends and family than handing
someone a CD. In my case, I sent a copy to my elderly parents who don't own
a computer and never will. I'm with you, Carol, posting recipes from the
(with proper attribution) is fine. In fact, I'm pretty sure some of the
ones in the book were posted here before they were ever submitted for the
book 🙂

I have some server space that I could donate and maintain if someone wants
to scan it or send it to me. A link could be put on the RFC website.

How about this: start a separate recipe collection and send it to John
for posting. There can be a star next to any recipe that was in the
cookbook. That way, we won't have to worry about re-hashing the
subject, contacting people for permissions, and can include new
"classics" as well.

As far as posting the cookbook itself, let's not go there. 🙂

Now, anyone up to being the organizer for a new T-shirt run?

I'd lose what's left of my mind if I did that, but I would certainly buy
some of them if they were made available.

Damn, too bad I'm no longer with my ex-husband; we owned a T-shirt printing
place. Could've done them up super cheap and could've had a contest for the

The question of reprinting the cookbook was raised at the San Diego
cookin... Some of the folks wanted additional copies...and some were
disappointed because they missed getting their recipes included.

This was another subject that came up. I have one of the 1997 navy
blue shirts and several folks at the cookin wanted to have one like
it. There have been other shirts done ( I have a few of them) but they
were always in white and carried the logo of the particular cookin
where they were sold.

I am getting a price to replicate the 1997 shirt, but we'd change the
date.

For those of you who haven't seen that shirt, it's navy with white
"printing".

It has rec.food.cooking on the first line and that line of type is
curved...under it is a fork @ knife

Bottom line is " The chaotic kitchen" in script. the shirt is a Hanes
Beef-y Tee and its 100% preshrunk cotton.

Ah, that was just before I started reading RFC again, so I wasn't
aware.

Well, I just wanted to throw the topic up for discussion. I'll let
the rest of you decide if/how to handle it, as I wasn't here during the
cookbook project (though I happily own one). BTW, I'm willing to help
out if/when any work needs done... :-)
