The perils of being an author....
Wow, writing a cookbook is not to be recommended if you want to lose weight! Fortunately, I have no need to diet. But, I just wrote a chapter on chicken parm and fried chicken... and I am drooling!!!!!!!!

When should I be expecting to purchase your new cookbook? That sounds like it will be a good one.
-
The plan is to get this one finished by Oct... it will be as eccentric as you would expect from me!
-
I would be disappointed if it was anything less 😉
-
@judsoncarroll4 What software are you using?
-
MS Word to write
-
I have another question @judsoncarroll4. Are you going to give a brief history of, or a note of the regional importance of any of the recipes? A page here and there linking the recipes to these things might be a good alternative too, rather than just a note with a recipe.
One Mennonite recipe book that I have is set up in this way, with a note of historical importance and such. I could send you screenshots through pm if you'd like to see what I mean. It makes the recipe book more valuable, in my opinion.
-
Yes, I am giving quite a bit of regional history in regard t the development of the recipes. This one if very much in narrative form.
-
@judsoncarroll4 oh my---Can't wait!!! I'm drooling, just thinking about it! October, I'm ready!
-
Thanks!
-
I have been wanting a @judsoncarroll4 cookbook for over a year. What's a few more months lol!
-
It is coming along... 100 pages or so written so far.
-
Oh my goodness -- YUM!
-
I can’t wait!
-
Buying a lot of cookbooks is not recommended for weight loss either!
But you know what they say -- who wants to see a skinny cook? :-)
-
I'm happy to be a bit beefy as a cook!
-
I have to admit that writing a cookbook is somewhat addictive. My strength as a cook has always been taste memory - I can taste whatever I think of and combine flavors in my head. Writing this book is like a feast!
-
Lots of pages = lots of recipes! I'm even more excited now! 😂
-
The more you tell us the more interested I am! It sounds like a wonderful book. Looking forward to it.
-
Thanks! I'm working on the fish section now... wow, there are not only "a lot of fish in the sea," but a whole lot in streams, ponds and lake, too!
-
Judson, you need to come fishing with us in Alaska sometime. Combat fishing on the rivers and creeks, ocean fishing you can catch halibut as big as an old Buick. lol

and halibut fishing

I sure would love to one day... maybe if this book sells I can fund some travel int he future!
-
I finished the chapter on freshwater fish today - I have some awesome trout recipes! Covered a lot of other fish, too. Cured salmon, smoked catfish, fired bluegill and perch.... bowfin a la Creole, carp or buffalo carp in sauce piquant.... dozens more
-
I don't know if I'll be able to wait until October with all this delectable food being mentioned.😋 My stomach is growling.☺️
