Yum!

And the proceeds go to Charles and charity -what could be better?

Visited reine's nic and saw the artwork. Delightful.

Gonna have to get one!

The cover is awesome

ITS A COOK BOOK! ITS A COOK BOOK!

Is there a chapter on How to Serve M ... ah let's not go there.

re: #6 Kragar (Proud to be Kafir)

ITS A COOK BOOK! ITS A COOK BOOK!

How to serve hatchlings?

My egg goop recipe's in there. It's great to make at night then warm up in the morning.

re: #5 Shug

Yeah, the artwork in outstanding.

Wow!
Thanks, Charles.

Rock! Food and Politics, what a great combination. :)

Now is there a "Little Green Football Cookies" recipe in there? :D

I sent reine a couple of recipes, but I don't know how many made the cut.

re: #10 Killgore Trout

Yeah, the artwork in outstanding.

and the titles of the books.

I love those.

Thank you Reine.De.Tout for all your hard work and dedication to produce this wonderful product. You truly exemplify what is best about America. Thanks also to all the Lizards who donated their recipes; I can't wait to get this cookbook.

I wonder if they have my Ramen noodle recipe...

Thanks so much Reine and FlakMusic, this was wonderful of you to do for us!

Just looked at the cover art. Who knew Jaunte was such an artist? Can we see more of your work please, J.?

And the price is right. But I may wait till I can get a discount on Amazon...and free shipping!

/Cato is cheap

;^)

re: #13 Sharmuta

I sent reine a couple of recipes, but I don't know how many made the cut.

all of 'em.
If they're not there, my bad.

re: #17 pink freud

And Jaunte also! Thank you!

The cover.

re: #17 pink freud

Thanks so much Reine and FlakMusic, this was wonderful of you to do for us!

And Ploome, and Jaunte, and vxbush, and david simon was a help, and jcm also had a role . . .

There is something about the Mughal Empire on History International Channel. This looks interesting...

re: #19 reine.de.tout

all of 'em.
If they're not there, my bad.

Cool! I hope you all enjoy my chocolate cheesecake!

heh.
Won't be on amazon.
Only here.

re: #22 reine.de.tout

*sniff*

Do we get teasers, reine? A taste of what's in store inside?

I'll be ordering mine soon.

All the recipes I came up with or modified aren't defined well enough to put in a book.
My latest is slice some potatoes and some beets, put in a glass baking dish, top with some sliced onions, butter and margarine.
Roast at 325 for 60-75 minutes, making sure nothing sticks to the pan every so often (at least once when the oven warms).
Hard to figure out what "some" is, and it varies.

re: #26 Sharmuta

*sniff*

AND SHARMUTA who provided the item on the very first page, the Lizard Prayer.

That is nice artwork, alright. They're eating gamey buttocks!

re: #29 reine.de.tout

Hey- I also gave you idea of a blogger page. But that was about the extent of my help.

re: #27 pink freud

Do we get teasers, reine? A taste of what's in store inside?

pp 3 - 153 are recipe pages. Some pages have 2, sometimes one recipe took 2 pages. But there are probably right about 150 recipes.

pp 157 - 172 contain the ROFLMAO section, includes selected quotes on various topics like, what goes on at a lizard meeting, Obama-Pelosi-and the Dems, sometimes we have transatlantic spelling wars, someone's ready for the boob thread, the LGF guide to personal hygiene, general posting etiquette, A Buzzsawmonkey Moment, conspiracy theories, How a Lady Fills her Gas Tank by Mandy Manners, Very Punny Stuff, and a couple of others.

There are also some blank pages so you can write or print & paste things you want to keep.

re: #30 Salem

That is nice artwork, alright. They're eating gamey buttocks!

The artwork is fabulous ...and did you see the book titles on the shelves lining the walls? Mandy's cluebat?

re: #32 reine.de.tout

Did Nakama's Troll Hammer make it in?

re: #31 Sharmuta

Hey- I also gave you idea of a blogger page. But that was about the extent of my help.

Oh, golly, forgot about that, sorry.
There was a lot to keep track of.

If I have left anyone out, mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

dang Charles
I never knew you were making one

I'd have submitted my chiles relleno recipe

No.
Perhaps Vol. 2

Take a bow, Reine. It wouldn't have happened without you.

Just ordered two. My mother collects cookbooks and will be thoroughly confused about this collection of recipes by people with funny names. I'm mainly doing it so she tries out a recipe or two on me the next time I visit.

How do I order? Is the LULU site thingy safe? Can I use a debit card?

re: #35 reine.de.tout

I helped in the first few days with some ideas like the blogger page, but you deserve all the credit for the work you've done, and the other Lizards who helped make the cookbook a reality like Jaunte and FlakMusic. I was glad to help yu, and can't wait to get my book!

Congrats guys. I wish I was around I would have added some of my African American dishes

re: #44 Racer X

ROFLMAO!

(ok- I hafta say - that gamey buttocks does not look appetizing)

Yes, but were you looking with your lizard brain?

re: #50 Afrocity
By that do you mean "soul food"?

(Not being offensive...seriously wanting to know if that is what you mean. I LOVE soul food!)

re: #44 Racer X

ROFLMAO!

(ok- I hafta say - that gamey buttocks does not look appetizing)

I think it's the hair gets to me.

Woohoo, just got a new cookbook! Can't wait!

That's not hair. Those are sarc /// marks. :)

Yep.

Still funny as hell tho.

You Lizards are the best!

I want in on round two if it happens.

I have some killer green, red and Jerk chili recipes

Did Nakama's Troll Hammer make it in?

Sure did, at least on the cover-art.
As well as:
'The Lyrics of Buzzsawmonkey'

re: #60 reine.de.tout
Oh I was not worried about you ((Reine)) just the site that asks me to sign up. I was just checking : ) I will be ordering mine post-haste!

Yee-hawww!

:D

Anybody notice the brand of wine? Hmmm?

re: #46 David Simon

Take a bow, Reine. It wouldn't have happened without you.

Thank you but it was truly a group effort.
Thanks to you, too, for your help.

Well thanks everyone! Now I'm starving!

The World According to Sharmuta made it, I see.
Great art work!

re: #57 brookly red

Sooo, condensed milk in mac & cheese or no? LOL

You are awful. We have a mac n' cheese but it involves bread crumbs sauteed in clarified butter and made with bacon and 7 cheeses.

You can use PayPal if that's safe enough for you.

I wonder if it tickles when going down.

re: #74 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

I just noticed Walter's hat! Hahahaha!

Ohhh, I thought that was Godfrey. Either way works for me. It's a fantastic cover.

So Reine, would you say this cookbook was "intelligently designed" or did it evolve?

/ducks and runs

I'm the little blue Lizard in the back on the left Jaunte said. I feel so special!

Looks like Mrs. CN! is getting a new cookbook. She'll also be delighted by where the proceeds go. Thanks for helping me with a Valentine's Day gift, Lizards!

THANKS!

Yes, it's safe.
And fyi - I can see how many unit sold, but nothing else. So your privacy will remain intact.

Congratulations. You have already sold more copies than Nancy Pelosi "Know Your Power".

Ordered!

I predict this book will rake in millions...or at least make money...several years ago all the fans at Little Feat's Hoy Hoy Digest made up a cook book and it did way better than expected and all the proceeds went to a fund for the drummers young son who had been hit by a drunk driver and suffered terrible brain damage...we raised alot of dough for treatments and rehab and such...it was extremely rewarding and just a hell of alot of fun...

re: #87 MandyManners

Which Lizard drinks Chimay Ale? I cannot remember right now and it's driving me nuts.

The Big one.

I'm tickled pink to be quoted on the back cover - thanks Reine. *mwah*

There you go!

re: #90 FlakMusic

THANK YOU!

re: #88 Alouette

I drink Chimay as well. Treat myself to it at least once every few months. In fact, I still have one sitting in my beer fridge.

re: #81 Jetpilot1101

So Reine, would you say this cookbook was "intelligently designed" or did it evolve?

/ducks and runs

Hmmm...as the only moderately intelligent designer, I'd have to say "both".

With a nod in memory of Obi Wan.

Is my Wassail 1 or 2?

re: #104 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

I will never give up meat, never, ever, eva eva

Page two and the table of contents pages have a couple problems.

Oh, well.

I'll order it on Tuesday, once I've made sure I don't owe anyone anything exciting.

re: #108 Afrocity

Good!

This one sounds interesting:

"Lutheran "Some-Kinda-Meat" Hotdish"

Awesome-looking group of recipes!

re: #107 Sharmuta

(hiccup) :-)

re: #89 Afrocity

You clearly don't know the missus then. She should have went to culinary school instead of getting her English degree. But that's ok. Her two great hobbies are reading and cooking.

re: #41 reine.de.tout

We had some recipes like that.

OK; take this for volume 2.

Is that Charles's grandfather on the cover?

re: #107 Sharmuta

Could you just let me finish Sharmuta's Wassail?

I have to get it, just to find out what "hot dish" is.

In my life, it's been one of those mid-western secrets that us Californians aren't let in on.

DUH!...I forgot to give kudos to reine and everyone involved...very nice job...I think I have my mom and sister talked into a couple

And I see Miguel has a mention on the cover, too.

I hope he's seeing this.

Oh yes. He was a great man with more uproarious stories than you can shake a stick at and his sweet wife absolutely doted on him.

re: #118 yochanan

that lizzard by the chimay ale bottle is me

I thought I saw a resemblance. The eyes, y'see.

re: #77 Afrocity
To me, the "N" word is just a stupid overrated word that people (both black and white) give too much power too. I prefer to call someone a word that really describes them...whether it be a nice word or not. As for "homie" I think that is just a silly word that the youngin's use. I DO however teach my niece that she is a lovely shade of brown. And I mean it. We should embrace the differences in one another. When we all keep trying to act like there are NO differences amongst us, we are only deluding ourselves. She is a beautiful brown little girl. My nephew is a handsome brown young man. Take it...own it...enjoy it. I would never want those two to feel uncomfortable about themselves. I hope that made sense. : )

re: #117 Sharmuta

It's my Grandmother's recipe.

My grandmother's wassail has malt liquor in it.

I forgot I submitted Winter Salad!

Who has the turtleneck?

Just bought one, too!

Good. A lot of stove top receipes I could actually make. Your list has increased my interest even more. Please post this list in other threads along the way.

re: #113 ConservatismNow!

You clearly don't know the missus then. She should have went to culinary school instead of getting her English degree. But that's ok. Her two great hobbies are reading and cooking.

My bad, the feminist in me saw your comment and had a a melt down. My apology.

MY COPY HAS BEEN ORDERED!

I wish you all had contacted me for a couple of recipes.

Jamaican curried goat and jerk chicken. Johnny Cakes and green bananas.

Maybe for edition 2?

re: #126 UberInfidel67

You are right. The "N" word means different things to different people. I do stay away from it. Like you said there are so many other beautiful words.

re: #130 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

I am so far from getting that...

This is entirely my bad. Don't know how it got missed, Mandy. My profuse apologies. If anyone else's went missing, please let me know.

I think this is reason enough to do a second book...

re: #109 Dianna

Page two and the table of contents pages have a couple problems.

Oh, well.

I'll order it on Tuesday, once I've made sure I don't owe anyone anything exciting.

There is a repeat of some information on p iii.
Sorry about that. As many times as we reviewed and proofread this, a couple of things got by.

Probably good to remember we are amateur volunteers.

re: #144 Afrocity
"Ethno Fabulous" edition sounds like a great title actually. I like it. Since we are all from different backgrounds and even countries on here...this could work! Brilliant!

re: #48 UberInfidel67

Don't EVER use a debit card online! If you're the victim of fraud you're liable for the ENTIRE BALANCE OF THE ACCOUNT!

/use a credit card, by law the maximum fraud liability is $50

re: #37 Adrenalyn

Watch for volume 2! You can contribute then!

BTW Sir Charles: What is up with the changes to the email system? Maybe I missed it?

re: #137 WhiteRasta

Perhaps.
But you need to watch the threads, we collected recipes for months.

I always like cookbooks that are arranged as entertainment books--like my season winter, summer, spring...

In AA culture we have Juneteenth dinners.

re: #148 Killian Bundy
I don't have credit cards : ( or maybe : ) I use my debit for tons of things though...mostly paying bills, not buying stuff online. I believe my bank has me covered on fraud though.

Corned beef plus ham?
How would you prepare the ham?

I can't wait for my book. Most of you here have more "culture" than I do...you have been places I will never see. Hell, you have eaten things that I will never get a chance to enjoy. I wanna see what you all came up with.

/Doesn't take much for me lol

Ordered! Yum, can't wait!

Thanks to all who worked so hard on this cookbook project. I can't wait to get my copy in the mail. The Lulu site is secure. You can make payment by creditcard or paypal. I chose paypal and it automatically directs you to their site. Once payment was made, it gave me my order number.
Note: Media mail does have tracking, so if the copy does not make it to you, Lulu is not responsible.
Hint: Chose the priority mail. It's only 1.25 more.

re: #165 callahan23
OK I admit...I skimmed the article...therefore, I cannot answer that. It was just the herring or ham that caught my eye. I will check it out again : )

thanks.

re: #168 notutopia

Thanks to all who worked so hard on this cookbook project. I can't wait to get my copy in the mail. The Lulu site is secure. You can make payment by creditcard or paypal. I chose paypal and it automatically directs you to their site. Once payment was made, it gave me my order number.
Note: Media mail does have tracking, so if the copy does not make it to you, Lulu is not responsible.
Hint: Chose the priority mail. It's only 1.25 more.

Correction: Media mail does NOT have tracking...

Still, I think you and your fine cohorts did a darned great job. I will order my copy on my next pay.

Thanks, toots. :)

If you are so into other exotic culture food have a go at Ethiopian cuisine'. Very spicy 'n interesting. Eaten with the hand.

Corre.. Enhanced.

I enjoy wathcing "Bizarre Foods" on the Travel Channel. He did an episode from Ethiopia one night. Looks good to me! I would love to have that job.

re: #154 brookly red

I don't use debit cards, period.

My bank claims they would cover all losses, including late fees and penalties that I get charged because payments elsewhere didn't clear. (I use a credit union.) But I still insist on an ATM card that requires a PIN. They accept it, and that's what they send me.

I've ordered one... Thank You all SO VERY MUCH! I am looking forward to enjoying all the good stuff... (I'll stay virtual with the gamy buttocks...)

I ordered the cookbook!
thank you reine!

Wait. What? Gamey buttocks? Did I miss something?

re: #178 UberInfidel67

I had that job - nearly. No, really I worked for 2 1/2 years in Ethiopia and had lots of that food.
Worst part was telling the host that I couldn't eat something in a diplomatic way as not to offend.
Reason: raw meat is not so save in those climates. Other dishes were swimming in butter of unknown age.
Other than that and if one knows to order according to his own needs, there are very nice foods indeed.

I've ordered it as well, and as troll isn't kosher, I'll pass on that as well.

Is my recipe for single malt whisky in there?

re: #61 reine.de.tout

International and kosher sections for a second cookbook? Regional? We must have lizards from nearly everywhere.

re: #186 Jimmah

did you send it in?

We thought about that for this one, but there just weren't enough recipes for that fine of a breakdown.

re: #174 Miss Trixie

But isn't this the Canadian national meal? ;)

re: #188 reine.de.tout

No, I have to admit I didn't know much about this project apart from the title and jaunte's excellent illustration. Will there be further editions?

Christmas presents for my friends and family.
That was easy.

You are, like, totally awesome, reine!

Your commitment to this cookbook is quite touching . . . , ergo, I am thrilled to have 'met' you, and I do hope you sense my sincere appreciation for all that you and others have done to improve my cooking feats!

re: #189 reine.de.tout

Thanks. No problem. As far as what is kosher, I always tinker with certain ingredients to make a recipe kosher, and have more kosher cookbooks that a place to keep them!

I get a kick out of my daughter who has so many of my recipes that she tinkers with. She is a superb cook and also bakes amazingly well. The 2-year old and my son-in-law are very happy guys!

The only problem is getting veggies into small stuff. He has gone on strike, and can find the hidden veggies in a nano second.

apparently it is wished for.

FlakMusic seems to be on board for a 2nd volume, and I am too.

I enjoyed it, as did the others, I think!
The funny thing is - I AM NOT A COOK.
But the book project was interesting, frustrating, aggravating and fun, all at the same time.

LOL!
Yes, they have that ability, don't they?

re: #195 reine.de.tout

Cool. Well done on what looks like a very nice production, btw.

He wins pride of place. One of my sons was a real pain, and sets a bad example for my granddaughter, but she now is almost 9, and loves veggies...but the toddler seems to have a vegetable sensor that goes off! Daughter has tried every trick in the book, and then some. I told her to ignore him (not possible!;) and he will grow out of it, but she then points at her brother, but he at least does eat some vegetables. We are talking a no vegetable rule here with the bandit. And we have to keep a straight face!

Anyone have a suggestion?

I think fruit is now considered the same "food group" as veggies.

Fruit for snacks.
And don't worry about the veggies, which are often bitter and young tongues don't like them.

V-8 juice . . . , that's what I do with my grandchildren

re: #200 reine.de.tout

Reine,
just wanted to say thanks for all your hard work on this project.
Hope everyone tries my reciepe for meat marinaide when the weather gets right for grilling.

re: #200 reine.de.tout

Bingo! He adores any fruit, and can be quite exotic. He has yet to meet one that he doesn't like. I must tell daughter to chill. Usually letting a phase like this pass is the best thing to do, I think.

Yes.
He will be OK if he has a vitamin, or V8 like someone suggested, and fruit.

No child has died from lack of broccoli.

re: #201 outsidephilly

I am getting the feeling that I was very lucky with 3 of my 4 kids, and with my 2 little granddaughters...never a problem.

I used to actually let my kids have desert first, if they wanted it, and they then ate the meal. I didn't want to make desert a big deal, as I remember my childhood, where I was always told I could not have it unless I ate all of my dinner, thus making desert take on an importance it just does not deserve. I should have prefaced this by saying that I grew up during WWII, when everything was rationed, and food must have taken on a very different issue than it is today.

Kids can use food as a weapon, and do! And I am not referring to throwing it at each other at the table. That was a whole other story.

re: #204 reine.de.tout

No child has died from lack of broccoli.

And President Bush (the father) is proof of that! ;)

re: #205 NY Nana

In my family, dessert was a once a week treat. Do (or did) you make a dessert for every night of the week?

I freely admit that I scammed my kids into eating veggies from tothood with subterfuge... I grated zucchini and squash into cakes , bread, and even meatloaf...put vegetable juices in spaghetti sauce, and mixed their fruit juices with carrot juice. Most children don't like the taste of cruciferous veggies until their taste buds have matured considerably, and so I just helped them along until they knew better.
They're all decent eaters now, and none of them are holding a grudge.
Seriously, it was fun, too...feeding kids can get to the point of no creative challenge, and this took care of that.

Wow, the Cookbook is out!

Okay. I'm down with that. What I want to know is...
who won the LGF Sweetheart Contest!

Order Placed!

My order is placed! I can't wait for this cookbook to come.

I hope we sell a ton of these!

I had no idea this project existed, or I would have sent in some of my delightful goodies. Charles, please make it more evident when the time comes for volume 2.

I have been looking forward to this cookbook. Thanks all that participated, can't wait to get it.

First, thank you Reine for persistence, and to the scaled legions who cold-bloodedly helped bring this to reality.

Jaunte--the cover illustrator? Our Jaunte? Beautifully done, truly awesom.

Now then: since the beneficiary is 1) LGF Tip Jar and 2) Soldiers Angels -- might we go one step further down that slippery slope of capitalism to arrange to buy copies of the cover art as a poster?

It happens that someone near and dear to me has a lizard obsession. Oh, he's a hopeless liberal Dem, mind you, but with that interesting dash of reptilian realism that surprises and inspires hope in the midst of ludicrosity.

Seriously: well done indeed.
