[Nfb-krafters-korner] Cookie Swap

[Joy Relton]

I would enjoy participating in the swap that Annette is proposing. I
love having baked goods around but definitely don't need the temptation
just now. I have over 40 pounds to lose and want to do that by my 25th
anniversary which is in December of 2010. By then, I hope to have made
these new eating habits a solid part of life.

I know the benefits of an actual cookie swap, but here is another idea
that some or all of the group might want to consider.  How about a
Cookie Recipe swap.  Whoever wants to participate sends their name to
the organizer by a deadline.  The organizer sends the list of names and
e-mails to the group. Each person in the group must send their recipe to
the entire group by the set deadline.  I would recommend that the recipe
not be from a common cookbook unless you have made some type of change
to it.  Each swap could have a theme, such as low calorie, chocolate,
etc.

Depending on the deadlines to this type of project, I'd consider
participating.  However, I'm leaving for Cairo today with work.  We are
putting on a 2 day forum to educate foreign air carriers on the new Air
Carriers Act that went into effect last may.  This act covers making
accommodations for people with disabilities.

Take care, and I'll catch up with you all when I get back and can weed
through the e-mails.

Annette

Hi everyone,
I would be willing to do this if this exchange remains small. If I can't
exchange the cookies I will certainly exchange my gingersnap recipe.
