Oh, Canada! Fruit Butters En Route from Wisconsin

A box of six different American Spoon fruit butters and two regional surprises is on its way to Michael V., a Canadian who bid on my prize in December’s Menu for Hope Auction and won.

Literally within an hour or so of the prize announcement Monday night, Michael and I were in contact.

A few minutes later, raffle prize manager Brett of In Praise of Sardines, responded to my e-mail and gave me the confirmation I needed.

It was a seamless and professional transaction. My thanks to both Brett and Michael.

The only thing that required time was wrapping the jars with that bubbly stuff so they would not break en route to Michael’s.

Courtesy and civility go a long way with me. I have added Brett's blog and a few other new ones to the links at left. Enjoy!

What a wonderful thing you are both doing. I will need to investigate this auction more. I have a weakness for charity.

Well, I do, too. My hat goes off to Pim for setting this whole thing up!

My experience with donating was good; now let's see how my experience with getting the prize I won goes. The jury is still out on that one.

Thank you, Kristen. I needed that.

I thoiught it was important to get the items to the winner as soon as possible.

I remember American Spoon - I loved their stuff!

Yes, it's good. But I'll tell you what: Nothing has ever tasted as sweet as the little jar of Bonne Maman I had with my breakfast on a train whisking me out of Paris for a week in the sun.
