Shroomery Federation of Foodies

Would anyone be interested in doing something where a group of us participate in making, and reviewing, other's recipes? Like, one person posts a recipe, then the rest of the group prepares and reviews it within the week. Each week we rotate to a new person, and a new recipe.
Anybody down for something like this?

Shroomery Iron Chef, sans time limit 
It'll take some organization though, and time permitting in terms of others being able to re-create and test the dishes within a week.

I think if we can get 5 or more people it would be worth while. Have to sort out the details as my original post is only a basic outline.
I just figure this would be a good way to experience things you might not try otherwise. It would also allow for some feedback/critique.

I say people with the available funds should participate. Nothing too complex in the ingredient department because not everybody has the ethnic store near them.
No broke asses lol but seriously we should get this rolling within the next week or two.

I'm totally down.. I just racked up a shyton of grub at the grocery store today. Gonna braise me some pork chops this evening and got some more flank steak for the grill o'er the weekend -- not to mention tons of snacky hors d'oeuvre crap, plus three beers; Guinness (it was $6 off per 12-pack AND it came with a $2 coupon off any meat item in the store!), a sixer of Killian's Irish Red (it was also discounted), and a sixer of Hornsby's Amber Draft (would've preferred the Draft Cider but they've been dry in that department for a while now ).
Samplin' the Killian's right now at around 50?F temperature I reckon. Beatiful color with a refreshing taste.. nothing to write home about but for $5.99 a sixer I'm game 
Someone draft some preliminary guidelines for the cookoff here in this thread - then we can throw down some feedback and ultimately start a fresh thread detailing the entire shindig.

Participating members so far: daimyo You_Suck geokills morphogenetic Odiumjunkie SpicyTunaRoll
PRELIMINARY DRAFT
Procedure: 1. Try and keep some sort of limit on expenditure. Not everyone is going to go out and buy wagyu and foie gras.
2. On Sunday, by 3:00PM EST, the recipe of the week is posted.
3. Throughout the week, whenever possible, each member buys the ingredients, and cooks the dish(es?).
4. On Sunday, everyone posts their review, and we discuss. Also, the next recipe gets posted.
Other Considerations: These are just my ideas. Feel free to say what you think should stay, go, or be added.
1. Anyone with a food allergy, speak up.
2. Maybe list prices to get an idea of regional cost? Just for shits and giggles.
3. Who's got a camera? Should photos be required?
4. Everyone list your available equipment, and for the first round we try and work around what people have. Then, once we see how this works out, we can step into the smokers and deep fryers and whatnot.

This sounds great! I do agree that pictures would be a MUST. It gives the reader a sense of what the finished product should look like.
This is going to be pretty interesting

actually, I'm going to have to pull out, I can't gaurentee I'll have enough cash on hand (I'm very, very poor ) and I think this will be a better project if everyone can have a go at cooking everything.
I will follow this project with interest though!

i would love to do it too. money isn't an issue 
**edit** as far as what i have, anything you'd find in a kitchen. what i don't have is a grill / smoker / anything like that (unless you count my george forman). i'd have no problem sitting out the weeks yall wanted to grill something though.
there's a huge grocery store here so i should be able to find any ingredients.

I think part of the fun would be seeing how people might tackle the same dish via different methods. For example, you don't have a grill, but you could indeed use your Forman, or even a cast iron skillet or griddle plate. Who knows? But it'll be cool to see how the dishes come out through slightly different methods, ingredients, and chefs. 
Myself, I got all the normal pots and pans, strainers, assortment of knives, gas grill, toaster oven, bigass oven, and a blender. I'll have to sit out on the microwave dishes

So it begins this Sunday?
On the cooking-ware, as long as it doesnt require a smoker, I'm golden.

I am down.
Coooking is so much fucking fun.
Its unfair though cause I prep food in a really nice restaurant and will be able to call upon vast resources for improvisational food delectable recipes.
But hell yeahz!

Ahh I love this thread already.
So the first recipe will be posted tomorrow afternoon, correct?
Most people have digi cameras so I'm sure pictures wont be a problem for MOST people.
How do we decide who posts the next recipe? Just go in order from the list that was just posted? Daimyo, I think it'd help a lot if an updated list of whos IN and whos OUT was updated every week atleast. Might cut down on the confusion, kind of like the Official Roster.
Well I'm definately stoked for this so see you guys here tomorrow!
