Chocolate fundraiser for Haiti relief

Jan 14, 2010 17:17

Since I can't follow the lead of my officemate in helping directly with Haiti relief through ham radio work, I'm instead going to put my other talents to work. This weekend (and after, if demand is unexpectedly high) I will be making chocolates that you, your friends, your neighbors, and all other interested parties can buy. All proceeds-- not ( Read more... )

Here via capsicumanuum. I'd like one Holiday Spice bar, one Pondicherry bar, and $5 of Earl Grey truffles. I usually see doma every week, so she can bring me chocolates, and I can send money via her.

Thanks, this is awesome!

Great, they'll be on their way to you as soon as I set up a pickup.

Thanks! Actually, I will be on campus tomorrow night and can exchange money for chocolates directly. I'll come to 8-205 sometime between 7:30-8pm.

Hi! I must apologize profusely; I lost your e-mail address note. :( I will be in 8-205 from 7:30-9 again tongiht, though, this time with your chocolate! (And some bonus s'mores and caramel nut clusters, as an apology.)

PS, just in case I wasn't clear earlier: I would like 4 bars of the ginger cardomum and 4 of the orange cranberry. :-)

And if you have any other white chocolate bars I will probably buy those too.

Sounds good. ;) The "other white chocolate" is Kulfi, and I believe I have extra. (I'm still running the final numbers, but I *should* have extra!) How many would you like?

Also, how would you like to arrange pickup? Via the Guild Game, or out in Bedford?

jadia January 20 2010, 16:02:59 UTC

I'll take 4 of those too.

Via Guild Game (ie, visage) is fine, or Bedford is fine but only after next Wednesday. (Or you can stop in at my MITSFS hrs Wednesdays 8-10pm.)

Right. I think they'll be headed towards you Friday, then. ;) I think I've got four extra Kulfi; if not, you'll get what I've got and more later.

I'm here via jadia (thanks!), who says she will help get my donation to you and the chocolate back to me!

I would love to get $10 of the dark chocolate peanut butter cups. And $5 of the dark chocolate with raspberries truffles. And 1 orange cranberry bar and 1 plain white chocolate bar (if you happen to make any!).

Thank you so much for doing this, it's such a win-win-win. Brilliant!

lionofgod January 20 2010, 02:49:12 UTC

You got it!

It looks like the peanut butter cups ought to be .50 apiece, so that would be twenty of them. Is that still good?

Also, I'd normally do a $5 box of raspberry, which has five pieces; I realized a little late that I left my teaser rate for encouraging box sales in, and it's being treated as a bulk rate. Oops! If you're expecting noticably more chocolate than that, let me know; it's totally my mistake, and I want everyone to be happy.

Twenty of the peanut butter cups is still perfect, yup. And 5 pieces is fine for the raspberry goodness. Thank you again for doing this!
