We're hoping that eventually we'll be able to have this site as a quality recipe archive for all the tasty treats on the Goons with Spoons forum in the Something Awful Forums. This site can only be as good as its contributors though, so register and dig in.

Consult the User's Guide for information on using the wiki software.

A big thank you to CygnusTM and the rest of the folks from tviv.org for setup help.
