The Icelandic Sheepdogs in America www.icelandicsheepdog.us is a group of concerned breeders, stud owners, and Icelandic Sheepdog fanciers in the North America who have joined forces to raise money for the national breed rescue.
They are soliciting recipes and story donations. If you have an anecdote or a story about your Icelandic Sheepdog(s) and a recipe that might fit the story, they would like your donation to a worthwhile cause.
You can check out the NISRA website below.
Here's more information: -
The purpose of this Icelandic Sheepdog rescue group is to
raise money for rescue and to create a resource to promote the breed. The
rescue group is additionally a network for Icelandic owners to meet and
interact.
Our current project is a fund raising cookbook! This
project combines our love for our dogs, fun people and food. We plan to
self publish the books and will sell them for about $20.00 with the profits
earmarked for the NISRA rescue. We’re hoping for about 150 recipes.
Tentative
title: - "Adventures with
Icelandic Sheepdogs - a Cookbook".
This cookbook will be inspired by events centered around our
dogs. We want recipes, photos, and stories from anyone who has Icelandics and
is willing to share adventures with their dogs. We would like to arrange
it seasonally and by event becoming both a story book and a cookbook. It is a
way to promote the breed through our experiences with them. Each recipe, photo,
and story will have a credit and help raise money for rescue.
As a possible example: - Penny and JoAnn were showing Stella
and Kaffi and were nervous messes. The day before the show Penny and JoAnn were
so stressed that that they sat at the computer eating Swiss chocolate from Ruth
Laub in Europe to calm themselves.The dogs did finish, earn their championships
and the chocolate was really good! That ‘story’ could be followed with a recipe
for brownies.
Tentative Sections:
-
“Rally-O to Go” -
Light picnic fare, fresh fruit and vegetable recipes, great fruit and vegetable
dips, really great sandwiches like Po'
Boys, chicken, tuna and egg salads etc. Sweet treats that don't
require refrigeration. Stories about Rally and the goofs you've made and how
the dogs forgave you afterwards, or how you thought you completely blew it but
came out with a great score anyway might be lead-ins for the recipes.
“Agility Barbecue”
– Some of us are really getting into agility. Stories or anecdotes centered on
your experiences in the ring could be followed by recipes for your favorite
ribs, burgers, fish, corn on the cob butters, barbecue sauces, rubs, celebration
"punches", deserts, etc.
“Best of Breed” –
Comfort food! Mac & cheese, meatloaf, pot pies, sinfully delicious
chocolate dessert recipes, etc. To celebrate victories or to soothe the agonies
of defeat. Pre-trial munchies you take with you to munch on while waiting
to enter the ring.
“From Home, Farm, and
Field” – Some of us have had adventures getting together and meeting one
another. What do you like to munch on while you sit around, talk, gossip, and
laugh. These recipes might include dip recipes, stuffed breads, quiche, things
you like to serve when company comes. Rosie and Evi made Rouladen for a puppy
buyer when she visited Germany
to pick up her new puppy. Photos of the dogs, people, and homes could be
included.
“Snowdays” – This is about Winter fare, thick rich stews, chilis, casseroles, fresh baked breads and rolls, hot chocolate, mulled wine, hot toddy recipes, and, of course, always, photos of the dogs having fun romping in the field and snow with or without livestock.
“Gone to the Dogs”
– This final section should include recipes like: - how much hydrogen peroxide to give them to
make them vomit, de-skunking recipes, whelping treats, training bait
recipes, other home remedies, etc.
We want fun recipes that folks would like to share and the stories
they like to tell as well.
Please have them send their stories, recipes and photo to me
at joann@fox-meadow.com
Thanks for your help
