Let's see -- a Caringbridge.org site suggestion was made by ---- me! Let me try again -- how about you establish a blog (livejournal, blogspot, other free ones abound, I think) and hash (there's the OB food reference "-)) it out there. Put a link to the site in your sig line and interested people can read, comment, argue, and generally carry on there.

Amount Measure Ingredient Preparation Method 2 cups chocolate chips 2 cups butterscotch chips 1 cup margarine 1/4 cup dry vanilla pudding mix 1/2 cup evaporated milk 1 teaspoon maple flavoring 2 pound bag powdered sugar 1 cup dry roasted peanuts
Melt chips together; spread half the chips in a 12x16" buttered pan and chill. Boil the margarine, pudding, and evaporated milk together for one minute. Add maple flavoring and powdered sugar; mix in a large bowl until smooth. Spread over chocolate. Add peanuts to the remaining chocolate mixture and spread over the filling. Peanuts? WHAT peanuts? Maybe a cup mixed into the remaining chocolate? (Ingredient list did not include peanuts; an oversight, I'm sure -- I'm guessing as to amount!) ΡΡΡΡΡ
