Glassmen Glassmen head chefs Carol Dewan and Tina Jameson are collecting recipes to feature in a new drum corps cookbook. Recipes will be presented in family-sized portions in addition to larger drum corps-sizes intended to feed 200 people. "We have had so many members and staff ask us for recipes that we decided the time was right for a cookbook," said Dewan. "With the corps inactive this year, we have the time to devote to this project, and of course, the fact that it is a fundraiser is a bonus." Having collected 275 recipes so far, their goal is to have a total of 300 in the book from corps across the country. Drum corps are asked to e-mail their favorite summer tour recipes to cdewan AT neo.rr.com by January 29 to be included.
