Any of those scenarios may be true, but there's nothing preventing him from issuing refunds to the people who did pay upfront for a book that hadn't even been finished or printed yet.

Oh yeah, totally, assuming he even has any clue who he owes money to. But it's interesting to me, the particular hole he's dug for himself. Any one of a million other career directions wouldn't have posed this same problem.

I'm pretty sure there are more writing gigs than I know that I lost because people looking at my work found my humor writing, which is why this interests me I guess.

Well, I don't want to take money out of his kid's mouth, I just was kind of hoping for the cookbook.

Is he going to assume that everybody still lives at the same addresses as when they ordered in 2009?

Just checked Achewood for the first time since May. 

It's been updated once.

Big deep sigh.

Hope you guys are all doing great.

Waddup people of the world.

The CookBook seems to be available in the HonorClub:

So, yeah. That's a thing.

I just saw that on twitter and almost fell off my chair. This must be a sign of the apocalypse.

He said the digital version had several pages not in the print version.

Wouldn't that be a smack in the balls if that was the second cookbook.

This ... isn't a very good cookbook. I mean the recipes.

The pasta with nuts is good and the chocolate chip cookies. Also the home fries.

I guess I should soften what I say. Nothing in there is bad. In fact, a lot of it seems downright tasty (although the concept of red wine at room temperature is, I'm sorry, wrong -- it really should be at about 65 degrees to start).

But none of it is *really* good -- for a foodie like Onstad, I'd expect stuff that's really awesome and yet simple.

And yes, I said foodie. Language evolves. Deal with it.

I got a chicken I'm going to do that brining thing with tomorrow.

If you've never brined a bird before I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

I've had brined pork but not bird, so I am looking forward to this even more now.

I did it once for a potluck dinner party and my friends went nuts for it. The bird was amazing as hell.

I think he wrote the cookbook for someone with the kitchen equipment of a 22-year old bachelor. It is just my speed. I don't have a lot of kitchen skills, per se.

Looking through the archives I came across pics of me and my nephew making Achewood Ribs.

It's not in the cookbook. Does anyone know where it came from because I don't?
