I do not look like someone who would be helping to create a cookbook. In all reality, those who know me usually do a double take and laugh a bit when they find out I am working on this project for Samaritan House. My interests usually include history and philosophy and attempting to sort out the occasional social issue while maintaining an unbelievable level of coolness. okay, I made that last part up. But, it truly is not my nature to sit down to a blank computer screen and try to describe tasty, yet subtle Southwestern cuisine.
I do it because I believe in the project and what Samaritan House is trying to accomplish, and honestly, I find it difficult to believe in much these days. I am not the sunny optimist these blogs often portray but I make a choice to look forward and navigate the chaos with a disposition that says good can happen. People do care. Things can change. So... one of my grand schemes to implement these positive changes is to help bring this cookbook to life because it will do a couple things:
The goal is to simultaneously raise awareness of homeless in the Flathead Valley and generate funds for our organization. The byproduct will be a beautifully crafted book with incredible recipes from all types of people and restaurants and organizations from all walks of life. There is still plenty of time for you to get involved and help. Here is some info that might be useful:
You have until Thursday, Feb 23, to submit recipes.
Please bring them by the Samaritan House so we can look at them and incorporate them into the process. Ask for Curt or leave them with the staff who is on duty, and they will get them to me. Thanks so much and I look forward to the mass outpouring of community involvement that is about to overwhelm me.
