here's the story...

Hey Peeps! Welcome to the newest addition to Biddy's World: Love & A Pink Mixer. So, I'm sure y'all are wondering why I feel the need to write yet another blog, and here's why: because i'm unemployed and bored.

so, here's the plan:

have you ever been watching Food Network or reading a magazine and thought "oh, that recipe sounds kinda good!" but you never actually tried the recipe? Or, have you looked in your fridge and pantry and thought "what can i do with ramen noodles and ketchup?" because that's all you've got? I know I do it all. the. time. So, here's where you come in. I want y'all to send me those "hmm that sounds kinda good" recipes, and i'm going to make them, documenting step by step. Not only am I going to make them, I'm going to suggest side dishes, main courses, cocktails, wine, etc. to go with the dish. Also? I'm going to grade the recipe by assigning a number of (wait for it...) pink mixers. Send me your list of random ingredients and I will do my very best to come up with a great dish.


now, with something like this, there has to be some ground rules:

1. desserts, side dishes, main courses, anything will be accepted, but it has to be a real recipe. no booger pies, thanks.


2. please please PLEASE, for the love of Martha, give credit where credit is due. let me know who wrote the recipe and where you got it (food network website, magazine, etc). I'd prefer Rachael Ray's people calling me because they want me to come cook alongside her, not because i posted one of her recipes without giving her credit!


3. keep in mind that I'm unemployed so let's keep the ingredients fairly inexpensive. I'm not saying dollar store, but I'm probably not going to be busting out the filet mignon.


4. no duck. sorry. i just don't do duck. or tofu. tofu scares me.

so, there you have it! i think this will be fun, but only if you guys help! send your recipes to pinkmixerblog(at)gmail(dot)com. now! please?
