REGIONAL COOKBOOK SWAP - CLOSED

[Random Rachel]

Thanks Laury! I have found local cookbooks, I was just surprised that they weren't readily available, and thought it was interesting

WHOAAA!!!!! I got a huge box from Kerfuffle with not one but SEVENTEEN Georgia cookooks---did I have fun ripping into that stash? You bet! Photo to follow. My favorites---local church collections, community favorites---terrific. My package goes out tomorrow (but not with 17 books:)! THANKS, KUW!

WOW! That was fast!!!! I hope to finish up by next Thursday and be done before the deadline but I always seem to want to find one more thing and then get my package in the mail the day before the deadline!! Sounds like you will have a blast cookin like a Georgian!!!

WOW what a treat for you. That will be a fun read and trying them out for quite a while.

I actually miscounted...there are 18 cookbooks in my box, not a MERE 17:)! If I live to be 200, I could never try all the delicious-sounding Georgia treats, so my plan is to make one recipe from each the next 18 times I need to prepare a meal or bake a dessert. I'll post the best ones on food.com, of course, with credit to the books they came from (and to Kerfuffle, of course!) Thanks again, K-U-W!

I'm glad the books arrived quickly and that you like them! I got lucky finding that local ebay seller with so many GA cookbooks ~ the seller even offered to drop the books off at my house instead of shipping them!

Please post a photo for all to see!

Mike...I never get e-mails sent to me. I learned that the hard way from the last swap when I missed everyones replies back to me regarding the questionaire. Now I've made it a habit to just remember to check here a few times a day. A real pain.

Is this you, CB? I seem to remember you had to change your e-mail address due to a virus? Did you give the new one to Food.com on your registration page?

Yes..it's me Mike. They do have my new address, as I changed that right away. I do get some e-mail replies, like to tag games and such, just not to this thread.

I believe, for whatever reason, it is because the two of you share that host account for this event ~ we went through not getting notifications when we wore the host hat on a shared account for the Variety is the Spice of Life event last May!

[Event Host]

That could be it. Because it's only for this thread that I don't receive e-mails. For my normal everyday stuff on Zaar I do still receive. It's not worth the effort to bring this to their attention. This swap thread we're in is only temporary anyway.

CB, sign out as Swap Host and post something in your own account name and that might solve the problem. I am getting e-mails notifications as Mikekey, not Swap Host. Then you can return to using the swap host account. Hope that helps.

I didnt think about it Mike but that will work. When I logged in with my swap hat on but it didnt work and I posted as lauralie I did start getting email notifications for the swap. Good Thinking!!

Shopping is going well for diner but I keep switching cookbooks in and out of my basket. Cant make up my mind which ones I like the best for her.

How are all of you doing with shopping and making decisions?
