I got a visit from my old neighbor today. She has three kids, two are chefs and one is a nurse. She said something to me I thought was interesting. Her kids are 1/8 Italian. The rest is Portuguese, English and Irish. Her daughter refers to herself as being English and Irish. She even has an English and Irish boyfriend. Her two boys, after finishing culinary school, refer to themselves as being Italian! Whah? I'm Italian (half anyway) and realized that here in the flesh and bone world, I really only sit down and talk food with my Italian and Portuguese friends. I sit down with any of my Italian friends and within 10 minutes conversation will turn to food. If I was in Italy, I would be a member of a culinary society.
Men get together over each others houses and cook, drink wine and play Bocce! I think that would be just awesome.
I had a eureka moment and came up with the idea for a little society de culinaria here on the campfire. For us though, men, women, and children may participate. Posting recipes is great, but I've put up a bunch, and received very little feedback. I don't know if anyone has ever tried them.
Here's my idea.
1. There's 52 weeks in a year so we limit this to 26 people - one for every other week. If there's nada interest, we do 12 and have one for each month. Whatever, as long as everyone knows when they sign on.
2. Each person has to post 1 recipe that is near and dear to them that uses simple, inexpensive, easy to obtain ingredients. If Mannlicher posts something calling for poaching in duck fat, we can cry foul ( or fowl) and he's got to put up something different. Anyone can comment if they can't get the ingredients and the person will have to put up a new recipe. The prep time should be no longer than say, 1 hour. This must be done by a certain date. Say New Year's Day ( or later if you procrastinate).
3. Here's the good part. Everyone in the society within the given time period (2 weeks or 1 month or whatever is agreed on) has to cook each one of the recipes.
4. Each person has to comment on weather they do or don't like the recipe and why. It would be like taking a master class in cooking. Educational and great fun.
Where I'm from, I could pick something like
New England Clam Chowder
Brown Bread Muffins
Portuguese Sweet Bread
Baked Stuffed Lobster Fisherman's Style... (kiddin!)
The possibilities are endless. It should be something you are known for and think would be an instant hit with everyone here, not something you saw Bobby Flay do and think would give you big props. Personal, regional, or popular at parties. You choose.
What do you think?

Girls have their book clubs, fat guys have their food clubs! Sounds like a fun project.

Rob,
I like it.
Im not sure if I have a worthy one that is truly my own, but I will look.
I have a tiny cut of sicilian way back in the tree, and it must be making its way thru. I love talking about food and preparing all the parts. Esp the game meats.
My father does too. I have been making stocks and other things that my friends just think is nuts.
Again Merry Christmas.

I would like to apply to be the offcial taste tester. Each one sends a sample to me of each dish to sample. I then get fatter!

I have some great Cuban recipes that I learned when living in Miami. This one, Oxtail stew es muy delicioso, y muy f�cil Ox Tail Stew
Three pounds oxtail segments
Flour, salt pepper, all mixed together
Vegetable oil
Two large onions, sliced thin
4 carrots, sliced thin
One large tomato, diced
4 or 5 (or 6 or 7) garlic cloves.
Two large red potatoes
Bay leaves
Oregano, thyme, ginger, salt, black pepper
4 cups beef broth, One cup red wine, An Argentine Malbec by Norton, is what I use.
Two tablespoons tomato paste
Two tsp burre manie
Flour the Ox Tail joints,
using a skillet, brown the Oxtails in the vegetable oil
Remove, and place in a Dutch oven.
In the remaining oil, brown the onion and garlic. Place in the Dutch oven with the meat and carrots. Add the beef broth, and red wine. Bring to a boil, and then reduce heat to a simmer. Season, and cook, covered, for two hours. Still occasionally.
Remove the lid, and add the potatoes, cook another 45 min.
Remove meat and potatoes from the Dutch oven. Keep warm. Pour the remaining liquid through a strainer, and return to the Dutch oven. Bring to a boil, and reduce. Add the burre manie, a little bit at a time until all incorporated. Return the meat to the Dutch oven, and cook for 15 min. Check seasoning a final time.
Serve with some of the gravy over the meat, and over the vegetables

So, 12 people, 12 months, 12 recipes? No one for 24? It wouldn't be that hard as long as people keep it simple. 1 meal item every other week.
As of today, here's the ones from the post. Feel free to confirm or chicken out. Just make a post, and I'll add up.
Get this straight. You need to provide 1 recipe. We can put them all in a thread. Everyone has a month to try it, and they have to leave a comment about it. It can't be expensive or complicated. Start thinking about one of your absolute most favorite things to make and hold on tight.

rob-
I'd like to suggest that you wait just a bit longer to hopefully get more participants.
Art?
Miss Treated?
As long as the recipes are posted openly, I think it's a great idea!
And, just for the record, I use the pork rubs you posted a LOT!
