Well, get a good 6 months on the job, then look into buying something little...

At the very least, wipe the poop off your feet before getting in the car.

I want simple everyday items that don't cost a ton to make!  And why do they leave out the meat temps? Sheesh.

Most of the large publishers get so many submissions that they know what they want, and can recognize a good book, with just a few chapters - especially on nonfiction.  It sounds like your idea is very good.  People need simple today because they are so busy and overwhelmed they don't have time to do fancy.  In fact, what you put above would go into your query and be just perfect.  Well, I know this stuff because I've done lots of editing/writing (although not in fiction).  Part of my job.  It doesn't matter that you need another year.  Most publishers, if they like what you are doing, are very happy to wait for you to finish.  So, the earlier you start querying the better.  Just a thought.

with something like a cookbook wouldn't i have to worry about plagarism?  It takes a lot of time and testing to get a recipe right. I look to the standard box favorites for what people expect for taste/flaver/texture. I search old books, the net for similar recipies and start working from there. Once i find what "makes them tick" then i can alter away  :) 

 

Like the cake; lots of people prefer the box to homemade because it's so light and fluffy, easy to make. I have made tons of cakes, and the home recipies are usually too heavy and take a lot of work. The recipes i have been working on aren't as light as the box, but are soft and moist, and velvety. Best of all, made with oil so it's a quick stir and bake  :)  I kinda think i like it "in between" better!  More moist and don't need an avalanche of frosting!  "Cake" took 3 years!  Still working on variations!

 

Brownies are the ultimate, no one has been able to crack the secret of what makes the paper crinkle on the top of the boxed ones.........I came sooooooooooo close once!  Cooks illustrated said they did, but their recipe didn't work for me, and several others had wrote in on this as well.  Now something like that secret would sell in itself, but then i have to worry about competitors!

got a developing question. Dont know if you all know or can help- but I would like to know so that I can learn.

 

Total hatched quail was 5.

The early three were starting to sound desperate in their peeps so I opted to open the bator- and get them in the brooder. 

I moved all five, then selected egg by egg. I listened first, nothing. No tapping, no peeps. and I opened them one by one. 

 

Of nine eggs- 

six were stinky rotten- either real early quitters or never fertile (shipped eggs)

 

three were perfectly formed babies in hatching position with the most severe crossbeaks I ever saw. They couldnt pip. Cant even call it crossbeak. The top and bottom beak were more like side by side;

 

what on earth causes that?  so sad.

Coco Chanel is broody again. She's pulled all the feathers out of her chest. Stupid chicken. If it were spring I might consider letting her, but it isn't, and she wasn't a good mama. Very air headed.
