Nice idea!

I go judge oh!

Funred55 · 01-11-2007, 06:16 PM

Sweet...nice one with the amazon book idea...that way you can just order them online and have them shipped, abi?
Maybe another prize, could be a large order of suya from that houston suya-man
and also, non-african cookbooks..maybe a Rachael Ray one or something. or some cooking items..maybe oven gloves/place-mats..etc....since amazon makes that stuff easy
