Hey all - hope the cooking and the writing are going well! I’ve had 9 submitted recipes so far!
(If you’ve not had an email from me acknowledging receipt then I’ve not received it!)
So my recipe is all cooked! And eaten!
But… erm… I’,ve not actually started writing yet. Oops.
(looks at clock)
Ooooooops

WeiXin/WeChat has an emoji for it. Maybe I should try to work out how to extract it.

Slapstick comedy is perennial.
You know, I made a similar meme for mister dismal. The first scene was him telling a dirty joke involving infidelity with his hypothetical wife (he’s actually a bachelor, and an upright one at that, which is all the more reason for me to go crouching-tiger-hidden-dragon to capture his heart). The second scene was him being pelted by animal plushies by his team at work. As if I were the wife herself and I don’t have to lift a finger to punish him for adultery. A whistle, and he gets beaten up by stuffed toys. Perfect vengeance. Tee hee.
Not linking to the meme lest I expose his identity. It’s really scandalous if you know my real name (and become toast, which is disaster enough) and realise who he is (and then we all become toast, blackened, charred and just plain inedible). It’s really scandalous. My rational assessment is no girl in her “right” mind would want to be his wife, let alone girlfriend. On one end of a certain spectrum, the girls would totally shun him; on the other end, the girls tend to pick safer and stabler guys. Therefore, by my going after him, I have nobody to compete against. I like to compare mister dismal to Nick Vujucic, who’s known for having no limbs. Mister dismal does not enjoy a good reputation in the authoritative sources, either. Or he is Beast (he does have a princely name, his real name) and I am Belle. But no one knows for sure on whose side the odds are stacked against. And I don’t know if I get to be the next Kanae.
Hope you photographed it before eating😂

You know, over here in Southeast Asia, we call that seong gei sik seen, meaning “the camera eats first”.

Ah! Dr. Grange I presume.
I saw the movie last night. Not a lot of cookery involved, but having the cloak of levitation and the ability to roll back time must surely help with the culinary arts.

Writ, et and submitted. Pasta Poco Vesto. And a suitably cookbook-unsuitable tale of the same name.
Sure hope there will be a passel of late submitters though. Someone needs to put Pigfender through his paces.

Piggy was kind enough to allow me “special circumstances” and accepted my “Drunken Greens” and a short, autobiographical, statement about being a “Damn Yankee”. Both were written for a cookbook before the heart attack I had on May 2. The photograph is from Thanksgiving (US holiday), 2016.
I’m really looking forward to seeing all the submissions and giving them a try.
Thank you once again Mr Pigfender for all your efforts in *iaD events.

Really pleased you were able to do that and wishing you a speedy recovery
Hi
I submitted my recipe just before the deadline.
I travelling to see family in Canada on Monday so I have had a lot to distract me!
This was such a fun challenge.
I really enjoyed it.
It got me to travel to a shopping area to get the ingredients I needed and that was good because the area has changed since I was last there a few years back but still retains its ‘ heart and soul’ which I was glad to see. A great vibe and eclectic mix of shops.
I don’t know if anyone knows Peckham Rye, London.
That’s where I went to get the ingredients I needed for my recipe

Hi everyone!
I’ve finished compiling and uploaded the cookbook for everyone who submitted. I’m assuming at this point that anyone who hasn’t gotten in touch, won’t be! The links are all in the very first post in this thread! I hope you had fun. Let me know what you thought of it!
Huge thanks to everyone who took part.

Thanks Piggy for organising this. Can’t wait to read all the stories, too.
This is the first time I’ve contributed to a cookbook. I kinda hope mister dismal doesn’t know about this because I might tell him I don’t cook.
The most gruelling part was reliving the nightmare of being quadruply booked. That aside, this was a much-needed break from a severe bout of depression since the end of last month.

Seventy-Six Good Meals in a Single Day!
Well, of course, it will take me a good while to cook my way through all of these storied dishes. Tempted as I am to turn to the back and see how it all ends, I shall not, no, sir!
So, with one appetizer and counting Drunken Greens as a kind of universal soup course, I am seeing 40 three-course meals to work my way through here. Or if we count the pasta dish as a pasta course it could be 36 four-course meals. However, given my general commitment to read through every version of every i-a-D, I think I am looking at 76 meals total. This would go easier and faster, of course, if my wife wasn’t a chickaterian. Many of these will have to be prepared while she is looking the other way.
Special thanks to Pigfiender for devising yet another curious writing challenge. Different and interesting and, like every NiaD ever, got me writing in some domain I might never have otherwise. Thanks!
