And on May 1, 2003, you presented a check in the amount of $5,450 to
them. Woo-hoo! Who'da thunk we could all get along for the 14 months
or so it took to accomplish?

OK, Sweetpea, how much was donated to Second Harvest from sales of the
2002 rfc recipe book? I've no doubt that you have a record of (and
likely a picture of the check I posted on my website) the exact amount
that was sent to Second Harvest. The first printing was about 400; the
second printing 300, from what I could dig up with Google's advanced
group search. My search skills suck. I'm sure the amount was posted to
the group.

Thanks. I knew it wasn't $7K.

holy shit for sure! We were all stunned and thrilled by the amount,
Blake. I think, going into it, most of us expected that the donation
would be a few (several?) hundred dollars or maybe $1-2K. I don't think
any of us dreamed of $5K. There was great joy in Mudville when Victor
or Nancy or whomever made the announcement of the total.

There was an *enormous* amount of work that went into the project
*after* the recipes were submitted and, in fact, *after* the first proof
copy was made. It turned out pretty darned good for what it is. Had
the book been assembled exactly as the recipes had been submitted, it
would have been a POS not worth the paper it was printed on. It would
have been an embarrassment to the group. Victor *was* the driving
force, IMNSHO, who made sure that a high quality product was delivered
in a timely fashion. (Sorry to embarrass you, Bubba Vic, but it's
true.) I can think of only a couple people currently posting who could,
in my opinion, do the same in the same way (he stuck to the business at
hand).

Want to edit a cookbook, Blake? Fortunately, you have enough hair to
pull out that there's still be some left when the job was done. "-)

It happens to be a damn good book as well as a little funny Alan-Lutefisk.

Almost all of the recipes are winners and some are extra special winners.

I was - reluctantly, initially at least - taking a part in a project,
into which I was plunged by the circumstances, so to say. Lots of
people took a part in that project - those particularly involved are
listed in the introduction. That is all there is to it.

Reluctant or no, you did email me about it when I'd drifted away from
the sunny clime that is rfc. I wouldn't have been part of the
cook.book otherwise.

Ditto moi. Only it was Damsel who emailed me, NOT the Spitzbubba. Carol
cares; Spitz does not.

Thanks Dams!

And you won't let your heart fall into careless hands, you capricious
Princess?

By the way, your name figured prominently in the first draft of the
cook.book introduction, as one of the early shipping volunteers. When a
second call for volunteers was issued, you were nowhere to be found -
and I gleefully deleted your name!
