Janeylou’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

It does help that we all read similar books so if one of finds something fancy we can all read for it .
Some challenges it doesnt matter who reads what, but others ( like this ) , its definitely an advantage

Yes its a bit like SH
if we find coffee in the book 6 times we can use it 6 times as long as its in a different place .
Certain words are going to be easy to find ( coffee) so im planning on using them for my fantasy/ pnr books which dont always have lots of food in them .
We can use spell outs as well, but personally i think im going to get confused if i do both so going to concentrate on hunt items.

Thats great Claudia, will put on my list...nee author for me as well

If i found something like bread and sunflower seeds in my book , can we use as crutons and roasted sunflower seeds in our recipe or does it need to be exactly as we find it
Im thinking more of when we describe our meal

Im watching masterchef at moment, trying to get some ideas

Note to self ...look for herbs !!

From what i can make out , certain items can be made with different amount of items
The more items we use in the dish the more points we get and the tastier it will be and sell more 🤞🤞

I was thinking we could do a selection of gluten free/ dairy free meals ( am i overthinking this ) , so if you see any of those ingredients make a note
Flavoured teas/ coffees may be nice as well

Hi girls , i think i know what im doing for this ( at least until it comes to adding to the SS )
Amanda has added a tab on SS to keep check of our books , ive filled it in for my long book so you can see and if you put your pg # next to item it saves going back to check it when we transfer to main SS

Ive put basic instructions on main page and got rid of a lot of ingredient info so it looks easier ( i think we can work out what to put on sandwiches)

Im not sure we'll be reading many 500pg + books so if you do read one its going to be best just to use that for drinks/ cocktails/ desserts as they cant be found anywhere else ....and these kids today like to drink 😄😄

Got ya , thanks 😊

If i use an anthology for 500+ , can i use initials of any authors that contributed and any titles.of the smaller stories ?

I may do Heart2Heart: A Charity Anthology Volume 5 and spread it over the month ..will check for words fist though

Some items can only be found in 500 pg + books ...so will see if i can find 1 i fancy reading

Great..thanks Mahi

Is the SH restricted to text , what if a food item is in the title
eg Like Coffee and Doughnuts ?

If i was making a sandwich for example could i have ham on it twice ,( from 2 different SH) or can each filling only be used once

Great , im at the cottage wed & thurs so going to go through rules again and post a few notes

Amanda , ive just changed names on top ...what you think

Would it be possible to have each food item in a seperate box , then we could put the pg # next to it as well ( so no re-checking when put it on main SS ) and im envisioning noting in each box what meal it works for .

If too much trouble , dont worry

Thanks

I clean with distilled white vinegar ,which i get from food section at supermarket and use it on my chips as well ( or should i say fries 😂😂😂)

Can i ask , is vinegar not popular /common outside of England as i have found a few books , so wondering if its more an english thing 🤔🤔

I have to go past a vinegar factory when travelling to my sisters ..love the smell, i do a lot of my cleaning with vinegar as well
