I'm Quasi-Famous!

“Sort of. Well, just a bit. My recipe for Dirt Bagger’s Pasta Parmesan got published in the new cookbook Lip Smackin’ Vegetarian Backpackin’ by Christine and Tim Conners. They even put my little bio and link to my site in it too.

This thread will self destruct in exactly 15 minutes, just like my quasi-fame….”

“Congrates”

“Congrats on your quasi-fame!

- quasi-modo”

“How very cool!


You git any cash fer that?”

“cool, Nigal.”

“quasi-congratulations!”

“I hope you get a copy of the book for proof. ;)”

“LOL@treebait

Yea, I'm quasi-happy for you. ;-)”

“Did treeB just call me a quasi-homo? Jeesh! Ya wear your wife's underwear ONE day posting and it follows ya everywhere!

Q, I got a free copy of the book. There's a lot of good stuff in there. It's actually lightweight ideas and they give a lot of reference for dry measurements and how to dehydrate.

“I think 15 minutes have passed, Mr. Diet Coke of Fame.”

“Congratulations! Glad to see you got the girl, too!


”

“I have until 1:32 Pm! 8P”

“1:32? Looks like I'm as good at math as I am at spelling! LOL!”

“very cool! does the recipe say you have to make it with no pants on?”

“What's in that secret sauce, anyway?”

“grr, i was halfway through reading this thread when... poof, it was gone? what's up with that”

“When she asked for a bio I had to give her something that was true to form…

“Nigal is a simple hiker who enjoys walking off the beaten trails of Ohio. His walking style can be described as “dirt bagging”, so it should come as no surprise that his recipes would be as simple as he is. No chopping. No dicing. No mess. Just keep your hands and feet away from his mouth and no one will get hurt! “”

“simer must be on drugs again. ;-)
This thread is still here.”

“Congrats Nigel.”

“Congrats. No offense, but you don't strike me as a vegetarian.”

“I HAVE THE REG VERSION OF THE BOOK..PRETTY GOOD STUFF..”

“"Congrats on your quasi-fame!

Nice goin' Nigal, ya hump-back son-of-a.........”

“Congrats! That is very cool. I'll buy a copy for sure.

Could you become a guest chef at Titanium Chef next year? How bout you're own Food Channel show?”

“Awesome news...when can we buy a copy??”

“So now I'm hungry. Can you share your recipe on this thread?”

“You stealed my yumblilicious recipes, Nagil! For this, I kick you in the kumquatz next time i am in Dayton, Akron and Toledo. You is bad man.”

“You got a free copy? When I submitted my dissertation I had to BUY a copy! Jeeze!”

“BAG 'N GAG
Try my daily take-out lunch special! Anything dead wrapped in bread! $4.95 plus tax.”

“rox1, you can get it for $4 off at the addie I gave above.”

“Awesome, you get your alterego to make a recipe and it is published with aknowledgement!!! Sounds ..... FUN!”

“Nigal is a vegetarian?”

“Cool deal! Congrats!”

“nobody makes fun of me for wearing your wife's underwear....














there's a guy round these parts who's quite well known for his nature photography and hiking guides; Tim Ernst. well, this 5 yr old girl got lost out here in the boonies(near Earnst's cabin) a few years back and i went to help to look for her. circumstances were such that i went "renegade" and not with an official search party. anyways, i have a 3 or 4 page "trip report" of my experience published in his book, "In Search For Haley". it was cool”

“Awesome Nigal. I was just showing my friend my copy of the regular Lipsmackin' Backpackin' book last night.

One of the "recipes" in that book cracks me up. Ingredients: One bagel, butter. Instructions: Toast bagel in fry pan, spread butter, eat.
Wow, how original! I sure hope yours is muuuuch better than that. lol”

“Did you find her?

ISO
Nigal is vegetarian, enjoys long walks in the dark and volunteers for P.E.T.A.”

“Yeah, some of the recipes are KISS simple.”

“I was hiking Sunday afternoon on a trail that follows a road part of the way. A car drove past me, then turned around and stopped when it caught up to me. The lady asked if she could take my picture for the Pantagraph (Bloomington-Normal's main paper) and I agreed, so my would-be hike evolved into an short interview with maybe 20 pictures as she tried to balance the light, the lake and me.

First thing this morning, our receptionist brought the paper with my picture to me. Thankfully, the photographer didn't print some of my off-the-cuff answers. :)”

“Scan it and post it! That's awesome!”

“Congrats. Post it if you can...”

“I just tried my office scanner, and it automatically creates everything in Adobe. Is there a way I can post a pdf?”

“is there a web link to the paper? maybe it's online already?”

“I found the paper online..
do you know what section your photo was in?

“Okay, a more technically savvy co-worker used her own scanner to create a jpeg and I put it on webshots. Go here:

Pantagraph picture

The photographer said she'd email the picture to me, so maybe I'll get a clearer version than this black and white scanned one.

edit: Pink, that's my paper. I don't know if my picture is online.

“I hope it's clearer. You look like a Zarqawi member in that picture.

Congrats on the fame though.”

“It looks like a Bigfoot sighting!”

“I was thinking the Elephant Man, personally...”

“Planet of the Apes?”

“ha, I know jealousy when I see it! I could switch threads and bomb you with virtual snowballs for these insults but I choose instead to fart in your general direction, you whose fathers smelt of elderberries... lol”

“Whatever you say Dr. Zaius.”

“A sixpence if you take off the bag!”
