Think On It

Menu for Hope IV

December 10th, 2007

December 10th is the kickoff — hey! That’s today!

So how about jumping into this picture? Look at that speed, the refined movements, the smiles.

Or this one?

Then, of course, we eat it all up.

The prize I am offering, code EU19, is a cooking class for one at our school, or if you’d rather, a cooking class at your place in reachable central Italy for two. The values are €175-€170. Take a chance on me!

If you choose the school, we’ll go marketing and learn about the ingredients and how to choose them, then get into the kitchen and whip them into an Italian shape. What we’ll cook will be what we decide from what’s the best Umbria has to offer.

If you want to learn in your own rental kitchen, I’ll arrive with the food and off to the kitchen we’ll go. What’s not to love about that?

I plan to really spoil the winner…. really. I promise you’ll walk away with some splendid dishes conquered, the recipes for them and the great feeling that your Italian souvenir will last forever.

The money raised from the raffle tickets all goes to feed the hungry. This and many, many other prizes will be listed around the internet over the next weeks. You can buy tickets right THERE.
Menu for Hope was begun by that peripatetic eater, Pim and if you don’t know Pim, you just have to go over there and meet her and get a load of how she eats. At Chez Pim, you can read all about how international food bloggers get together and give of themselves to feed those who can’t feed themselves. Read the whole article, because it’s amazing how little of the money goes to the expenses of collecting the money. On her site is also the enormous total international list of prizes available around the world.

The winners of all the prizes will be announced on January 9, 2008 at Chez Pim.

My boss is Fanny Zanotti of foodbeam, because she’s the European coordinator. If you click over there, you can see what Europe has to offer. The variety is stunning. I’m shooting for a couple of real dream prizes, myself.

Be a sport, the tickets are only US $10.00. Aim high and win something you might never otherwise have a chance at. Like me!

Actually, love me or love me not (and what are you doing here if you love me not?), love yourself and what you can accomplish by buying a few $10 tickets that can save lives and change yours. There are bound to be 10 prizes on that list you’d love to have. Me too.
