WILD RELEASE NOTES:
Starting it Bookring adventures.
One must always have basic rules at the heart of one's approach to anything. Here - before I share my favourite dishes - are mine in the world of cuisine.
1. It is best if possible not to try actually to cook anything.
2. It is impossible to overestimate the importance of timing - a good cook is a strategist as well as a craftsman - always have everything you will need ready before you start, e.g. phone numbers, cash, names of restaurants, take-aways etc.
I PMed mrspopoff, will ship the book as soon as I receive her address.
And Smurphie, thanks for the book and the postcards! I wish my workplace were as cool as yours! :)

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
Sending off on it's travels to Finland
I've decided to put this out as a ring here in Finland, as I promised to Smurphie that I would pass the book around here.
Participants:
lottuli, Helsinki
Niksu, Helsinki
Semming, Vantaa
Annelis, Vantaa
Niora, Joensuu
Lunatum, Oulu
bookwormess, Helsinki
EDIT ON 4/28/2007:
The ring starts today as I'm giving the book to lottuli.
Next this book will go to Niksu, most likely in our next meeting 24.5.
My favourite part of the book was Shag, marry or push off a cliff-game. Kumman kaa is so five minutes ago in Finland so this would probably be nice entertainment with friends for a change.
Thanks for continuing the ring here in Finland, bookie;)
Edit 7.6.2007: Send to Semming today (because of my businesstrip). Keep Them Moving #45.
I found the Adaptable Cook and other texts about eating and cooking very funny and ah so necessary for the survival of some young people.
Once we bought a grilled chicken and my teenage son was in a hurry to go somewhere. He opened the wrapping attacking the bird with a fork and knife. "This chicken is all bones!" he shouted. I said that he should turn the chicken around because it obviliously was laying on its stomach. Then he would find something to eat.
Just yesterday the 22-year-old son of my colleague was cooking something new and phoned his mother asking what kind of thing is a "kasari" = sausepan which is mentioned in the recipe. We usually use the word "kattila" = kettle.
Some twenty years ago I went shopping. The children wanted to bake buns or rolls - NOW! of course - and my husband started to make the dough. But soon he had to interrupt the work because the receipt said "knead the dough" and he did not understand the Finnish word "alustaa" as it usually means something else. Well, he would not have understood the other suitable word either as "vaivata" usually means "to bother". So a bowl of half made dough was waiting for me when I got home.
This book is my #39 in Keep Them Moving Challenge by Guineveve
I hope nobody minds me having now lent the book to the girl I share my office with, as she immediately became interested when I told her about the book. (I don't think she'll journal it, but I'll ask and see.) I'll get it back from her by the end of the week, then forward it to Lunatum.
CAUGHT IN JOENSUU POHJOIS-KARJALA FINLAND
EDIT Feb 14:
The book started it's journey to secret RABCK destination earlier this week.
1.5. I read the book during the flight to London on Saturday April 19th, as I wanted to wild release it during my week-long holiday. I liked Bridget Jones diaries, but it's been a few years since I read them and I don't quite remember all about them anymore. I think this book would have probably worked better, if I had read it right after the Bridget Jones diaries. It was rather entertaining though.
Released 15 yrs ago (4/21/2008 UTC) at Bathwick Hill in Bath, Somerset United Kingdom
WILD RELEASE NOTES:
I left the book outside a shop behind the Bath Abbey.
