Larry, maybe you can work with Jen, and do a calendar, too?!  This does
sound like your kind of project...

Jen, I do have a "recipe" for what some other vanagonauts thought was a
truly wonderful salad.  Not that it's particularly bus-related, just a
salad!  But if you like I can call it Matilda's favorite, along with Bev,
Barb, Phil, and Loren's favorite post-Buses-by-the-Bridge, and send it
along...

Joy

:::A note from my wife, Jen Olson:
:::
:::
:::
:::Hello.  I am starting a new fund raising project and would like your
:::help.
:::I would like to make a "Bus" cookbook filled with recipes to prepare
:::while
:::camping in a bus.  I would love to include recipes from as many people as
:::possible and would love to hear your recipes.
:::
:::
:::
:::This cookbook is going to be sold to raise money for burn survivors
:::through
:::Buses By the Beach.com. Some recipe categories I would like to include
:::are
:::Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Snacks, Campfire, and Kids Favorites.  I would
:::eventually like to take a picture of each recipe and have it on the page
:::with the recipe.  I also want cool pictures of buses on the page and
:::bus/camping names for the recipe. Like, "Westy Waffles" or "Bus Burgers."
:::Your name and location will be listed with your recipe.  Please submit as
:::many as possible so all bus campers can enjoy your cooking ideas!  They
:::can
:::be recipes you make at home that travel well in the cooler, or they can
:::be
:::recipes you make using your grill, propane cooktop, or electric griddle
:::or
:::skillet.  They can be as simple as mac and cheese with hot dogs or
:::something
:::a little more gourmet.  As you know. anything goes in a bus!
:::
:::
:::
:::Some recipes that come to mind are. Angela Strohschein's pies, Mary
:::Wisnewski's beer bread, Kristin Diffata's homemade salsa, Sara Dew's
:::black
:::bean mango salsa and smores with peanutbutter, Kim Hengert's red pepper
:::hummus, Nancy Owsianowski's chocolate chip cookies, Michelle Plichta's
:::award
:::winning chili, Richard and Hope Sanchez's breakfast burritos, Kirt
:::Weakman &
:::Dave Strohschien's late night Queezy-dillas, Katie Hirt's jambalya, .
:::Also
:::at some of the potlucks there were salads and dishes I did not know who
:::made
:::them, but they were great!
:::
:::
:::
:::Please submit recipes and meal ideas to  <mailto:jen.olson@charter.net>
:::jen.olson@charter.net
:::
:::
:::
:::Thank you for your help in creating an awesome cookbook for all to enjoy!
