As I mentioned before, I'm stealing an idea from Teena of the Gourmet Project. She uses a random number generator to generate page numbers and she has to cook something off of them every so often. It's a good way to make sure that you aren't avoiding recipes--otherwise I could end up with a year of really nasty-looking foods that I didn't want to make.
I'm going to post my list (that way I can't cheat!). I plan on making at least one recipe every two weeks. I can make any recipe off of the page but the recipe has to start on the page in question. I have to make them all before I can move on to the next set (we will see how that works!).
**One major change and some of you might think this is cheating--I have decided that I can carry over up to five dishes once (and only once)--and add as many other dishes to get to 25**
Here is the list (page number, abbreviated chapter title, (eventually) what I made and the date):
ETA: I decided to list all the possibilities per page so I could easily refer to this page. When I make something, it will be linked and the discarded choices will be deleted :)
