Boat Racing Cookbook - Send recipes now!

[Janet]

Over the years, we have had some great potluck dinners at races. Several of the organizers of these dinners put their heads together this weekend at Lock Haven, PA and have decided to compile a cookbook which will be spiral bound and sold for $5.00 each. All proceeds will go to the J Driver Scholarship program being developed by Jill Glossner and Sheri Runne.

All categories of food will be included (appetizers, main dishes, side dishes, desserts, etc.) as well as a beverage section for your favorite racing concoctions. Please email your recipes to Nina Augustine at ninerp@verizon.net or mail them to Nina at 24131 Doreen Drive, Gaithersburg, Maryland 20882 by October 15, 2008.

You can give your recipe a fun boat racing name if you like (e.g., Sean Augustine makes a great "Turn Fin Chili") and your name and APBA region will be printed with your recipe (please include what region you are from when you send your recipe to Nina).

Mine is peanut butter and jelly (Goobers brand of course) made with a shim stick.

Ya have to be a little more specific, Laurie -- how much peanut butter, how much jelly and what kind, and especially, what size, of shim (cleanliness optional?).

Grape Goobers on wheat with the greasiest shim you have, or out of the grease gun.

Never trust a skinny cook.

I ate a hot dog in February once and it just did not taste right. Mustard? check. Cheese? check. 2-Stroke? Problem solved.

I will see what Mamma C can put out on the market.

Yes, quite.
Although the grease gun is my Dad's speciality, I'm old fashioned.

Two Suggestions

Please don't be offended if I offer two suggestions.

Include photos from the many photographers who contribute here on hydroracer.net. Include about one photo for every two pages of recipes.
A good photo is a good photo even if it is in black and white.

And charge $10 per copy. It's for a good cause -- the future of our sport.

Cookbooks have one uniqueness -- they rarely get thrown away. They become timeless. And with racing photos? Well, how many of us still have a copy of Rusty Rae's "Speed and Spray" 34 years later?

Photo's might work Mark. We will have to check on the technical aspects. So far, 0 recipes. Does EVERYBODY hate the children?

Deleware Cherries

Does anyone have Bob Touchton's famous Hard Cherry recipie? All time favorite from Camden days.

Camden cherries . . .

Does anyone have Bob Touchton's famous Hard Cherry recipie? All time favorite from Camden days.

Bob claimed he'd bury the jar for several weeks, but allowing the cherries to *steep* in a cool, dark place works. Less digging. Stems on, stems off - optional, but Bob left the stems on - easier to fetch outta the jar, and of course the leftover stem could be used to amaze onlookers with ... um, tongue tricks!

I used cherries in a mason jar with everclear. After several weeks in a dark, cool cabinet they were just right. Next batch I think I'll try `shine with slightly less punch because the tasting party got a wee bit wild. Discovered a crack in the coffee table top - something about table dancing ?
