Okay - so I do have one more thing to add.... Wondered if you two might be interested in a "family" type cookbook. Was thinking we all have special recipes or recipes that we use all the time and are favorites for our kids - and it might be fun to share and put in a book for all of us to enjoy. I thought about this when Dione sent the Hot Fudge Sundae Cake recipe - and her story made it even more special. It would be fun to add little notes and such..... I also got Kyle's biscuits and gravy recipe last night when we absolutely love and I have just never had committed to paper - it would be fun to have a book or something. We could also add little tips and such - the funnier the better - based on our past experiences as cooks and housekeepers. I know you two must have a trillion of these!! Like Aunt Marge's statement that it ain't done 'til the fire alarm has gone off, etc., stuff like that.What do you think??Love, deni

Denise, you are trying to domesticate a lost cause!!! I'll talk to Chuck and see if I can write down some of HIS recipes that WE could contribute.
The N* family, Deni's
The T* family, Dione
The G* family, Chuck
He has some really good ones in his head.
I think you should call it "Trying to Get Darin To Cook"
(Dione, be sure to read the columnist in the Times Time Out today about the 20-month old toddler and the baby crib for her sibling that will be born in 6 months. Will make you feel less guilty for having to climb up on the dining room table with the chairs upside down to find some away-time!!!!)

Nah, I don't think Denise is trying to domesticate you, Darin. Where would the fun in that be? I like the idea of a cookbook, but I was picturing that a Sisters Cookbook should be/would be somewhat disorganized and heavily based in reality and all the fun that goes with it. (I don't see it professionally bound with an attractive leather cover, but rather thrown together somewhat haphazardly into a 3-ring binder as time permits... but that's just me.)
I don't cook either, so I was picturing my contributions being heavy on the desserts... and then I figured I could throw in the recipe for macaroni and cheese (in case your 16-month old runs away with the Kraft box)... or 10 ways to convince your husband to pick up Burger King... I sometimes throw out the Papa Murphy's pizza instructions with the plastic wrap, so I'd want those in there too...and then I figured I'd throw in a few recipes I'd like to try if I were someone else...( someone far more Martha Stewart-ty) such as the seven-layer eggnog tirimisu trifle with chocolate leaves that Cara wanted me to make for Christmas Eve...
I already emailed Deni that rather amusing story which is why I ended up sending her the hot fudge sundae cake recipe in the first place. And if Chuck gets to submit then Scott might want to also and that could get ugly. But I wonder if I could track down the homemade frappucino recipe he wrote for Darin. That was a goody... Don't throw that Times article away yet Darin...we only get the newspapers on weekends now since Scott is punishing them for always throwing the paper where his sprinklers drown it... Love you both,Dione

OK, I’m starting to see this whole Nelson Sister thing is profit-making, a potential best seller, like the Sweet Potato Queens.
