Recipe Challenge

During a recent dinner out with our nephew, Keanu, I came up with an idea. I'm not sure why it came to my head at this time, as there was no correlation to the moment...I just had a random idea. Anyway, back to the point. Marily and I both enjoy cooking. We find it to be fun, exciting and challenging (and most times, quite delicious)! So, I thought...why don't we do a once a month event, where our friends & family can join us in our culinary adventures.

Here's how it would work, our friends & family would submit recipes to us. It could be a recipe that is simply to challenge us, a recipe that sounds delicious but is too intimidating for them to attempt, or even a family recipe they just don't have the time to make but would love to eat. The submitter would be responsible for purchasing any necessary groceries, then we would cook and host the meal. Assuming there are multiple entries, we would randomly draw the winning recipe the week before and all remaining recipes would be automatically entered into the next drawing. The recipe challenge would be held once a month on a Saturday (i.e. 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th we'll figure it out later) so nobody has to worry about work.

We think this would be a great idea and is a "win-win" for everyone. We get help picking out new recipes to try and the lucky winner gets to sit back and relax while someone else does the cooking. If the meal turns out to be a disaster due to our preparation and not because the recipe was a train wreck to begin with, then we'll treat the winner to a meal on Cafe Huss...one that's tried and true. So, what say you? Let us know what you think and if there is any interest we'll get this party started!
