Cookies For Cancer

One of my favorite food bloggers is Amy from Very Culinary. Her recipes excite me, her photography makes me want to eat my screen and her writing is not only bright and funny, but well edited and to the point. (Unlike someone I know, I say, pointing to myself.) So when she asked me to participate in a fund raising promotion, I said yes before I even knew it would entail video taping myself. Which tells you how much I like Amy, as I believe the only thing worse for society than my moving image is me hopped up on 14 shots of tequila with a handful of car keys and a hankering for a sack of White Castles.

Amy and her husband Paul put together this sweet video of a bunch of food bloggers to promote Cookies For Cancer, a fundraiser that matches funds made by bake sales and donates them to pediatric cancer research. Thanks to Amy and Paul for all of their work. It was great to be a part of the effort.

*mwah mwah mwah* - love you to pieces, lady. So beyond happy you said "yes." Make sure you write to Emily and let her know you posted.

And for the record, I would actually pay to see you high on tequila, eating White Castle burgers.

HEY!! I have been wanting to visit all week, but even when my weekend came, it was a bit of a whirlwind. I agree with you that this was an easy 'yes' to anything Amy was going to ask. She's a truly special person, isn't she?

And that was too funny about you and your "Jackie/Bah" comment. Oh, and your cookies! Thank you for joining me in that. Perfection, sadly, isn't my thing, but in this case ~luckily~ it didn't matter.

I'm so glad to find you through this experience. The fact that you get paid to write makes you my hero, you know? That's my favorite daydream of my future.
