New project?

    I have an idea, inspired by the Julie/Julia Project. My mother gave me a set of Woman's Day Encyclopedia of Cookery cookbooks and I was thinking of going through them and revamping the recipes to fit a modern, healthier lifestyle. I will most definitely not try to make all the recipes in a year like Julie did (especially since there are twelve books), nor will I promise to make every recipe. For example, the very first recipe in the cookbook is for abalone chowder, not interested at all. This series of cookbooks goes over a ton of different kinds of foods in alphabetical order. So, after abalone is acorn squash. I would definitely be doing those recipes! I wrote an email to the publishing company that owns the copyright to the cookbooks, so once I hear back from them I will get started. I am excited, there is a lot of great information in these books, for example, in the acorn squash section there is a "purchasing guide" that tells you how to pick out the best one as well as information on storage, nutritive values, basic prep, and how to freeze. Wow.
    So, question for all my few readers: Do I start a new blog for this in order to properly name it and keep it separate from my everyday one, or do I just include it in this one?

Okay, I went and entered the ingredients into the recipe calculator on Spark People for a recipe straight from the book and an alternate version and here they are:
