Here's my thoughts on how it could work:
- I'll set up a seperate blog.
- We choose a baking book. I have a bajillion suggestions!
- Tuesdays with Dorie does a recipe every week. We don't have to do every week - we could do every other week.
- We take turns choosing the recipe from the book. We bake it and post our thoughts, pictures, etc. on the day we choose.
Thoughts? This just appeals to me. We have a dessert group at church, but it's not very interesting to me. They just get together and eat desserts.
Here are some of the baking books that would be fun:
Pastry Queen by Rebecca Rather - a Texas girl!
The Sweet Melissa Baking Book by Melissa Murphy
The Greyston Bakery Cookbook
Tartine by Elisabeth Pruiett
Martha Stewart's Baking Handbook
Martha Stewart's Cookies - if we wanted to just do cookies for now!
Baking: from my Home to Yours by Dorie Greenspan
Tell me what you think! I'm always looking for a reason to bake and I'd love to discuss recipes with people.

Why can't you join the TWD group? I'd like to do something like this in theory, but I'm not sure how great I'd be at actually following through with making things...
I like the TWD group, but they sometimes choose recipes that I wouldn't make - like ones with coffee, alcohol, etc.
I'll do it with you! Sounds fun! How would it work? I've thumbed through some of the recipe books you mentioned ---I just might have to take myself to the book store to look at the others. Let me know!
I see...there are some UT bloggers that do TWD and they just make substitutions for those things or plain leave them out. Just another thought. I thought the idea was to use the base recipe, but tweak it to your taste anyway.

Really, don't we all love a little validation?
