Amazon & Cheftalk & My Salary

On another thread, Cathy asked:

>When I went to ChefTalk to see about placing an order with Amazon I clicked on the buy amazon icon is that good for any book I order or just the cookbook on the screen of cheftalk? I just need to know how that works.<

I figured the answe fit better here on the cookbooks forum.

When you go to ChefTalk - Cooking Forums, Cook Book Review, Cooking Articles and Recipes by the chefs the first thing is to click on the forums button. Near the top of that page is a direct link to Amazon.

When you click on that you are transferred, via a magical software program, to Amazon's site. Whatever happens to appear then is happenstance, just something Amazon is particularly touting. When I use the link, for some reason I'm always sent to Amazon's cookware section. Go figure.

Once you are there you navigate the Amazon site as normal. The software keeps track of where you came from, and credits Cheftalk with anything you buy.

That's anything, by the way. Books, music stuff, cookware and other hard goods. If you link through Cheftalk and buy something we get credit for it.

Now, why is that important? To you, it may not be. But to me, it's very important as it makes up part of my paycheck. Cheftalk is part of Amazon's affiliate program. For every sale made through our referrel (the link) Cheftalk recieves a small commission. And I get a percentage of that percentage.

Besides which, while you're there you can explore the Cheftalk site (ChefTalk - Cooking Forums, Cook Book Review, Cooking Articles and Recipes by the chefs). Maybe find something interesting among the book reviews, or educational in the articles, or a discussion in the forums that makes you want to join in.

All in all, good deal for everyone.
 
No wonder I could never get on chef talk forum when I joined several months back~
 
I tried to join Chef Talk forum also but they never responded... I just let it go I thought this forum was good for me. This forum has a good balance to it. Great recipes, some chatter, good food ideas. Cookie :)
 
I agree, in fact, I am not on my others ones that much any more, I find this one the best in my preferences and camaraderie.

I joined Chef Talk, but... I got on once and when I tried to get on a 2nd time and any other time after that it denied me and now I'm not surprised as to why that happened. I say, let it go, I didn't need the headache to "try" to get on to only be denied. Oh well, better things definitely came along >HERE, Thanks to Kev< and Chef Talk is a distant memory
 
I don't take stuff like that to seriously, It's just not worth it. To tell you the truth I like to cook but It's not my #1 thing I like to do.. I went on this fourm thinking it might inspire me and give me some ideas, it's been fun! Cookie :)
 
What a sunny disposition to have, Cookie :) ~ I love to cook ~ to me it's like therapy, very soothing and I love to create ~ I have obtained and shared many recipes over the years and before I joined forums, not many people I knew enjoyed my passion for cooking. I am an okay cook ~ and when I 1st joined forums it has been my experience to happiness to talk and forge friendships with others who have the same interest.

It is nice getting to know others and I find it interesting when people talk and share their culture and family and too why a certain recipe is important to them and where it comes from.

I don't take stuff like that too seriously, it just is nice when I understand why.

Your right about that cooking can be very creative. I Thank you for sharing all your soup recipes with me. In colder weather I Love soup, it's very soothing & comforting. This is the first cooking forum I have tried. It's fun to share recipes with everyone, and see what cooking.... Cookie :)
 
You are welcome, Cookie, I personally favor, hands down without a doubt, my father's pea soup, so many memories ~ he put cut hotdogs in it to entice us children to eat it when we were younger, very thoughtful and creative if you ask me, loving too, but that was my father, a great man and an exceptional cook, so now I can't even eat pea soup without cut hotdogs, funny how a certain food will bring back excellent memories.

Here is another great memory associated with food: in the summer my father would entice us kids to eat vegetables by taking us to the park 1/2 mile down the street every night if we ate our vegetables (in our house we always had a minimal of 2 vegetables dishes each evening) and somehow, it got to be all the kids in the area ~ we can remember when we were getting in my fathers, 1964 Rambler station wagon, the neighbor mother's coming out and saying which of their children can go with us because they ate their vegetables hahahah my father would have kids jammed in that vehicle going to the park. And he took us ALL too, sometimes another mother had to load her car so all the ones that didn't fit in my father's car could go because they ate their vegetables.

My father told us that he would run into the neighborhood kids (now as adults with their own children) from time to time and they would always say they were eating their vegetables and were getting their children to eat them too and reminisce with my father, such a fond legacy for him.
 
What a cute story, I think that was very smart to add hot dogs to split pea soup. I always like my veggies and the park!! :) When I was growing up my Mom did most of the cooking. I liked her cooking it was good. When my Mom didn't feel well then my Dad would cook or order out lol.. I thought it was fun to see what he would come up with. He would make chili dogs or Hamburgs, or get MCdonald's. Order a pizza. He would wing it it was funny lol. Cookie :)
 
Dianncy64 your father was a beautiful person and terrific father, I love men that are that involved with raising their family! Thank you for sharing that heart-warming story I loved reading it and smiling as I envisioned all you guys cramming into that Rambler:)

For my daughter & I's birthday we are going this Fri. night to a drive-in movie theatre. It has been years since we've been, I am so excited I can not wait! I hope they will still be showing "Beverly Hills Chihuahua"! It is located a good hours drive from here and I won't mind a bit. It will be worth it:D I am loading up on chocolate covered p-nuts & raisins, and Snow-Caps, and popcorn & cold sodas!
