Kitchen Musings

Each year the blogging community ,led by Pim, comes together to raise money to feed the hungry of the UN World Food Programme. Last year it raised $90,000! This year, amidst one of the worst recessions in history, we need to remember that there are folks out there who have literally nothing to eat for days on end. For $10.00 you will have a chance to win a fantastic prize at the same time feed a hungry child.

The prize I am donating is two boxes (24-count each) of assorted macarons from Petites Bouchees! These are Parisian-style macarons filled with luxurious buttercreams and creamy ganache. Some of the flavors will be Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla buttercream, espresso buttercream, passion fruit milk-chocolate and caramel fleur de sel. Sorry, U.S. only. My prize code is : UE04.

There are a lot of other prizes. The host for the East Coast is my blog sister, Jaden of Steamy Kitchen. Check her out (I mean her blog) for more delicious and nifty prizes. Personally, I have my eyes on the sleek New West Knifeworks knife!
