My turn

[firecat]

I know very little about some of the people on my friends' list. Some people I know relatively well. Some of you I hardly know at all. Perhaps you lurk, for whatever reason. But you friended me and I thank you.

But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's so and so...she likes spinach."

I'd love it if every single person who friended me would do this. Yes, even you people who I know really well. Then post this in your own journal, if you feel like it.

What's an iron chef family dinner?

Ahhhhh....so glad you asked.

ICFD is something my best friend, automat76 dreamed up. We will officially celebrate its first birthday in January.

The concept basically goes like this:

1. Pick one ingredient/theme (we've done things like black beans, beer, green foods, cheese, mushrooms, etc.)
2. Invite your friends over
3. Everyone brings a dish containing said ingredient
4. You eat yummy dinner, then have "tasting & judgment" (everyone tells what they made).
5. Everyone writes down a new ingredient, puts it in the hat, and someone draws one out.
6. Next month's location is chosen, and the cycle begins again.

We've had great luck doing this with a lot of our friends, and reportedly several friends of friends spin offs may be beginning in January. We'd love to make it a "movement" (like Slow Food, or some such thing), and are hoping to get a website together soon.

What a great idea!
