I'll be adding 2 recipes, from someone else, tomorrow. I just hope my computer doesn't go all screwy again.

No. It won't be too late ... if we've hit 300 before deadline, we ask that you just PM Vickster or me with the recipe and we'll take a look at it.
Since Vicki has so many, maybe she would consider dropping one of her recipes, especially in categories with less entries.
We're at 249 with 51 slots left.
Right now, we need Vegetables and Side Dishes ... we only have 26 ... and Breads and Rolls .... we're at 14
Appetizers and Beverages - 49
Soups and Salads - 43
Vegetables and Side Dishes - 26
Main Dishes - 50
Breads and Rolls - 14
Desserts - 41
Cookies and Candy 12
This and That - 14
I guess what I'm trying to say is that we to include recipes from as many sources as possible. My two
PHruticakes in the Kitchen books are used - a lot - mainly because of the diversity of the recipes. They are part of my "go to" arsenal when it comes to picking just the right food to serve to my friends and family.
Hopefully ... we'll hit 300 before the cut-off date and will be able to get the data edited, proofed and transmitted to the publisher right away. This is my first time dealing with this format, but it would seem that it would take less time, since we've entered everything directly onto th publisher's website.
Vicki and I are trying our best to "edit as we go," but I'm sure we'll take and 2nd and 3rd pass at the recipes before it's all said and done.
It has always been our goal to get them to everyone before Christmas, but we can't make any guarantees.

I would bet I am not the only one. And I immediately ordered one.
Great idea, ejr! I'll bet Bill will put a link in the first post when he gets back from Maui.

The 5 in 5 went well. I ran the full 5k in under 34 minutes and drank all 5 beers through the camelback without puking. Then I signed up for a 1-mile race in the afternoon, and ran a 7:27 while drinking another beer.
Debbie did great in the half marathon and came in at 2:57. Go Debbie Go!!!
Be ready for a charity beer run of some sort at the next local tailgate. A lot of the local TNT runners are already committed to doing it.

I might also suggest updating the title-until the other day, I didn't ever go beyond the title as I assumed no orders were being taken.
Thanks for the change-hope that helps bring in more orders!!!!!
