2022's cookbook challenge
So sorry I took so long to post! I've been attacked with a general sense of malaise and ennui.
The rules are as follows:
1. Pick a commitment that works for you - don't sign up to one new recipe a week if you'll never be able to pull it off. There's no judgment if you overestimate your abilities, but try to be realistic.
2. Use only recipes that are already in your possession, either in a physical copy or bookmarked in your browser. No fair picking out new recipes to try! That's fun too, but that's not the point of the challenge. Physical recipes don't have to literally come from a cookbook - if they're on Grandma's old index card or the back of a mayo jar, that's fine.
3. When you've cooked one of those backlogged recipes, post about it, either here or in your journal. Make sure to copy out the recipe, credit it properly, and note any substitutions or changes you had to make. If the recipe comes from a website or from a book that can be purchased online, then consider posting a link.
4. Once a month I'll post a roundup. If you didn't post in the comm, post a link to your entry in the comments.
5. This is a fun challenge. No judgment. The only goal is to support each other as we make our way through our piles of hoarded recipes, at whatever pace we can manage.
If you want a formal way to mark your own commitment, fill in the poll.

If you'd like to do this with a bingo card, there are some ready-made ones here. Or, you can go here to generate your own!
