The Cookbook Team has decided to extend the deadline for recipe submissions, due to all the craziness in the world the last few weeks. So, the deadline for submessions is now Monday, September 19th. This gives everyone two weekends to get stuff typed up and e-mailed to buffistascookbook at gmail dot com.

We've got tons of great stuff so far. I can't wait to see what is yet to come. We've even been testing some of the recipes. Fabulous, fabulous stuff.

So, if you haven't submitted or you still have things you'd like to submit, now's the time!

Bay Area people!

Tomorrow night (that's Wednesday, 14 September), Ayelet Waldman will be reading and signing and doing a Q&A at M is For Mystery in San Mateo. She's got a new book out, in her Mommy Track Mystery series.

Ayelet is a superb speaker, funny as hell, passionate, and the Mommy Track mysteries are a hoot. But even if she was reading the phone book, she'd be fun to listen to.

So come on down!

NYCers - my office has an immediate (as in today) need for a print designer who knows InDesign. If you know anyone who could give even a few hours and might be available for additional part-time hours in the future, please email me. THANKS.

The time has come for us to start thinking about the looming deadling - closing submissions for the Buffistas Cookbook. The deadline is Monday, September 19, 2005 at midnight board time.

Thank you to everyone who has submitted recipes. They're wonderful, and we should know, because we've been testing them. We'd still love more recipes, though...especially appetizers. So, send away. You've got the weekend to type them up. Take a few minutes. Get us the info you have. We'd love to include your recipe(s).

Also, I will be sending out a few more requests for recipes or permission to publish recipes that we found mentioned in Natter or Bitches. So, look out for those.

Thanks again for all the great recipes. Keep 'em coming!

I have a code for $10.00 off any order at Teleflora.com with no plans to use it. First one with a yen to send flowers who e-mails me at my profile address gets the code.

I think I may be the last Buffista to subscribe to Netflix, but just in case I'm not, I just got a notice that I can invite friends to join and they'll get a free month, instead of the standard two weeks. This offer expires 9/28 and quantities are limited, whatever that means. If you would like an invitation, please send your email address to my profile addy.

Just a very quick reminder that Cookbook submissions close at midnight board time tonight. Please take a quick moment and get those last few recipes sent to buffistascookbook at gmail dot com.

Thanks!
