T,

I'm interested in working on some recipes for you. I'm open to main dishes, desserts, meats.
Just don't throw out any possum recipes for me to try [img]smile.gif[/img] I don't think the kids will eat it!

By the way to all on the forum, I'm thinking of designing a chambers apron for all of us. Would anyone be interested?

Please out me down for a bread, biscuit or roll recipe and an apron. I was thinking about T-shirts...any interest ?

[Ms V]

Yes, I would love to try some recipes, meats, main dishes, desserts. salads (grin)...

as for aprons, I especially like lots of pockets...V

Hey don't give up!! We had Big Bertha sit in a vacant house for over 2 years before we picked her up and another 6 months before we had the courage to tackle a restoration. Like you I just got my ducks in a row!!

Yep, I'd be interested in main dish recipes. I have the 7qt and triple pot ready to use.

I'll leave the baking to Hasfan a.k.a. "Betty Crocker"!! [img]wink.gif[/img] Could not resist that one!!

I'm going to work on the apron during my kids winter break. One of the only times I have some peace and quite to myself.

I'll make a rough draft of one and post pic. I'm open to suggestions for changes. I know Ms V wants pockets, which is a good idea. Any suggestions on color is appreciated. Lets face it with all the cooking all of us will be doing white isn't the way to go. I also will find out from the silkscreener how much the initial cost will be and if the idea I have in mind is doable.

I've got one of those cookbooks coming, too - I'll do the same: share some recipes, let people try them out and make adjustments, then post the final result on the Recipe Club.

Great! I'll scan some recipes and get them posted tonight.

You know me, a total Chambers memorabilia junkie - I'd love TWO aprons and a t-shirt!

Hi Gang,

I got the 1909 "Fireless Cooking" cookbook in the mail today that I had purchased from e-Bay. It is 315 pages of mostly recipes when cooking on retained heat (with a type of "well", or oven). It is totally the precursor to the Chambers.

I think the recipes are perfect for the Chambers, with time of cooking perhaps being the only difference.

Would anyone like to try a recipe or two from the book to see how well these recipes adapt? (if they do, then that opens up a whole new horizon for us to find interesting recipes since there's plenty of these cookbooks around still.) If so, please give me some ideas on what you'd like to try (main dish, and if so, the type of meat, or maybe a baked item, or bread or puddings, desserts, or whatever.) Then I can pull a few recipes for you to choose from and will post them on the Convention board. If any of them work out, they can then go from the Convention on to the iChef site.

Lemme know if anyone wants to give it a shot. I am still hoping to get to use my stove one of these days, although maybe not during 2006. Our building project took a tiny baby step forward this week, so maybe it will happen during my lifetime. :-)

Ha,

Chef's shirt would be cool. I have an apron in mind that has small double pocket on top and pockets on the bottom. I'm going to go to a local guy who's done tee shirts and various apparell for my son's school. I was thinking of putting the chambers logo on and the cook without gas phrase and if it can be done the picture of John Chambers at the cookout. I have a copy of that picture so maybe it can be done? I'll let ya know.

Calling all Chambers Rangers!!

Ok, I scanned the whole index from this "Fireless Cook Book" and put it on the Convention site:

[url="http://www.chambersvirtualconvention.com"]http://www.chambersvirtualconvention.com[/url]

Then click on the red script that says "Fireless Cookbook Index".

If a recipe there tickles your fancy, click on the link on the page to e-mail the recipe(s) you'd like to have posted to try out.

Seems like it will be kinda fun.
