Twitterable recipes

In a moment of silliness last night I challenged my fellow Twits to produce recipes that could be squished in to 140 characters (well, 133 actually, given that we're hash-tagging them #recipe).

So far we have:
From me:
  • mimbles: Wrap pork fillet w/ proscuitto, put on bed of sliced red apple & onion, drizzle w/ olive oil, season with black pepper & sage, bake #recipe

Your apple with the honey and the butter sounds delicious!

Turn them into a book. Publish it. You'll make millions! (And I get a 5% cut for suggesting it!)

What a great idea! I didn't see them on twitter, but now I'm going to go look. I would totally buy that book, too. Less overwhelming for very-very-bad-cooks (like me).
