Wow, this year’s Menu for Hope raffle raised $91,188 to feed schoolchildren in Lesotho, Africa! That’s 50% more than last year. Many thanks to the following:
- Chez Pim [1] for conceiving and organizing this annual charity event
- Serious Eats [2] for coordinating the East Coast prizes
- Prize donors for giving away thousands of dollars’ worth of goodies
- Bloggers for hosting the prizes
- YOU for donating!
Without any further ado, congratulations to Eric for winning the Wild Sweets Chocolate [3] cookbook and Yunlin for snagging my homemade nut butters [4]. For the full winners’ list, check Chez Pim’s site [1].
I won Charles’ Chocolates deluxe box assortment [5] from Dessert First, Roni Sue chocolate buttercrunch and seasonal truffle subscription [6] from Serious Eats, L.A. Burdick Chocolate Mice [7] from Breadchick and Rancho Gordo [8] beans to make it sort of healthy. Yowzers, that’s like a lifetime supply of chocolate.
Forgive me for being away so long. This blog has been broken, with viruses, post spam (yes, someone found a way to tack on info about male enhancement), and funny formatting. I restored my databases from backup and reinstalled WordPress about five times. Hopefully, there will be no more fixes!
