Thanks for the boost!

Of course it looks like everything is going to be that weekend. Sigh. I'll probably collect prompts from the CCJ to dig into once the Garden is over...

You're welcome!

By all means, cross-pollinate! Use Crowdfunding Creative Jam prompts in your other activities. Mention your Garden of Prose in your CCJ message. Tell your GoP audience about the CCJ. I'm cool with it turning into a Bohemian street fair of creativity with people wandering from booth to booth shopping and making and inspiring. Whee!

Now all we need is a food row and some clowns doing balloon animals ...

I wonder what kind of food-focused projects we could get going there...

Back when I had a bunch of people to cook for, I was posting original recipes here fairly often, and they were popular -- an audience request initially, in fact. I suspect that I could crowdfund those, but I don't have enough people to cook for these days. :/

It's frustrating because I have a lot of ideas I'd like to try, especially things that are getting hard to find in edible form. (Wal-Mart no longer carries decent barbecue sauce: EVERY brand and flavor has high-fructose corn syrup, usually as the first or second ingredient.) And I have an idea for a meatloaf cookbook that I want to develop, using all different kinds of meats and fillers.

... and all of a sudden I thought of venison meatloaf with thick homemade barbecue sauce instead of ketchup. That would be something to experience, sort of like shredded barbecue except in loaf form.

Murrr ... I must keep this in mind. I make an elkloaf with a topping based on ketchup with rosemary and other stuff added. Barbecue sauce over venison just sounds scrumptious. I have ideas for several different sauces based on apple butter, mango puree, or tomatoes. I think either apple or tomato would go well with venison.

Ooh...

Oh, cross-pollinating is sounding like lots of fun. I think I will send people back and forth (or, well, point out that there's another prompty place). Hee, thanks for the ideas!

And you know I LOVE the idea of it being a Bohemian street fair! I bet meeksp could do some balloon animals.

I'm sure that meeksp could do awesome balloon animals. Maybe the daughter of Monster House requesting not a balloon dog, but a balloon gremlin, from a befuzzled clown!

Or Junie from aldersprig's Dragons Next Door requesting a balloon dragon!

Totally adorable! Or the baby dragon, which would be a real good reason to make a lead balloon.

Oops

That should have been meeksp. I used the DW user code by accident!
