...cookbooks that they've posted or published online. Our Sisterhood
is gearing up to do... some kind of electronic, "living" cookbook
Living cookbooks, dead cookbooks, it's all on the internet; it's all
been done. However, as with everything, the question is about how to
build a cuter mousetrap.
Do you remember the movie "The Calendar Girls" which was loosely based
on the story behind the nude calendar done by the Rylstone&District
Women's Institute (near Leeds, England) to raise money for blood-related
cancer research? You've probably considered this, but let me second the
idea of setting up a Blogspot and video-ing all the recipes right there
in the synagogue kosher kitchen. The blogspot would be independant
from..., but could be directly linked to..., the synagogue webpage.
There is a wonderful blogspot <http://foodwishes.blogspot.com.es/> that
features only the cooking videos of the charmingly funny Chef John.
Whenever I feel a little under-whelmed, I pop on into his blogspot and
watch his hands blanche tomatos or some such nonsense. Perks me right up.

He talks on Off but you can see his hands working so that if the camera
were any closer to what was going on, it would become an ingredient.
The beauty of a blogspot is that it can be edited and up-dated
constantly. Little anecdotes about the recipes can be added on or
modified at will. And most importantly, the younger members of
sisterhood (in the frilly apron) can do recipes like:
How to stuff peanut butter into an apple or
How to open a jar of Mrs Adler's guefilte fisch.
Now, you wouldn't have to video all of the girls in the Sisterhood
cooking up a batch of cottage cheese blintzes in nothing but a frilly
french apron (some of the younger members might consider the
possibility). On the contrary, the more mature ladies could be dressed
to the nines wearing pearls and high heels like Julia Childs which would
contrast nicely.
Also slightly off topic: We don't have Hadassah or Sisterhood here in
europe like you all have in the u.s.a. In spain we don't have anything
at all! But in England they have the WI (Women's Institute) which is too
cool for words

...it's like Big Girl Guides
Hope you've all had a fun summer. I would really like to nuke this one
into dust; it is so flipping hot!
