Because this auction is doing really well - thank you all so much for your enthusiasm in supporting Live Long and Marry! - there's now a new twist to this auction, to be found here:
http://community.livejournal.com/livelongnmarry/267889.html Original offer: A batch of Mom's Secret Recipe Chocolate Chip Cookies.
New addition: The cookies will come with Mom's secret to making the cookies, plus for every $5 increment starting at $25, I'll add a Christmas cookie recipe so old that my family doesn't know where it came from any more. (We bake a lot of cookies at the holidays, so we're in no chance of running out of recipes.)
Plus, I'll hand-write a story for each of the cookie recipes I send: the time I played cookie-fairy for the stressed-out seniors at college the night before their theses were due, why Hidden Ledgers are called that, where my grandmother got her famous-within-the-family Scottish Oatcake recipe.
So please go to the cookie auction and bid for really tasty cookies, childhood memories and family stories, and old, old family recipes!
This way to the auction!
