Thespian Chef
Sunday, October 5th, 2008I have been wanting to make sugar cookies for a few weeks now. But for one reason or another, it just hasn’t worked out.
That is until say about now.
Well, I haven’t made them yet, but I will be making them tonight. I am going to use a recipe from the Thespian Cookbook.
“THESPIAN COOKBOOK: A treasury of favorite on stage and off stage recipes of Troupe 3911”
The cookbook I have is probably from 1994, give or take a year. If memory serves it was $10 and one of the ever ongoing fundraisers that we held for the Troupe 3911.
The book has seen better days and as such I have on several occasions said I should transcribe it. Well, I started doing that today. I have 6 pages done, which doesn’t sound like much, but it is a good start.
I am going to try to finish the cookies before I pop out to the store, though I might need to cut that short. I have had a few flashbacks whilst typing away, reminiscing over a few items that I haven’t had in a decade (Russian Tea) and some that Gina made for me the other day (Meringue Surprises).
Given that I don’t have an official hobby at the moment (video games don’t really count, neither does work). I was thinking that I should try making every item in the Thespian cookbook, take pictures and then compile the pictures into a book. I have looked at doing a book, using Lulu.com a few times now. But I lead a relatively boring life (no one wants to read about how I managed to guided the Russians to victory in Civilization Revolution, or do you?) and I just haven’t had a real creative streak lately. So I figure, why not a cookbook.
I don’t think this will count as plagiarism, being that I am not going to claim to have created the recipes. I am thinking I will add a couple of recipes to the mix, possibly my recipe for Chili and my recipe for pulled pork. I will also make the digital data available to whomever is currently running Troupe 3911. (Pretty sure Troupe 3911 is still around.)
Well, I need to get to the store before it gets too late.
I can’t wait to have some Russian Tea.
