Great job handling this exchange Choco! I think all in all it was extremely successful. Thanks guys!

Hear, hear! All hail Choco - Queen of the Cellar Cookie Exchange!

Yeah! It was fun and I would definitely do it again.

It's YUMMY! :frog:

::bow, bow:: I have enjoyed my tenure as Cellar Cookie Boss! It was a lot of fun, and very yummy. The Cellar sure has some master bakers in residence. I just wish I had taken more pictures before eating all the cookies. :o

LJ/Choco, thanks for the info. I was getting a little paranoid.

Yes, most excellent job, cookie nazi!! ;)

Anybody wanna try this with pies?

Choco, you didn't handle the UK end of the cookie exchange, but kudos to you for the organising you did. And further apols to Limey for having a breakdown in the middle which meant no photo documentation.

Pies? Oh yes! But I can only send them in the UK, for refrigeration reasons. And UK Dwellars know what kinda pies we eat here anyway. What a shame. I'd love to send & receive region-specific pies. Region, not country of course, because we're smaller than many States...

Steak & Kidney, Scotch Pies, Cornish Pasties etc. You get a lot of pie in a small place if you're cut off by water.

I don't know how to make a pie that would survive shipping... although I'm open to suggestions... and trading food in general.

I'm in for a food exchange, too. I missed teh cookie one.

We could do non-cookie things like lemon bars and scones and stuff. Anybody up for a random shipping-friendly baked goods exchange?

Another good option would be cured meats.

Hmm.... I've got corned beef and cabbage in the crock pot if anyone wants to swing by...

Melton Mowbray pork pies would survive shipping lol.

Pork pie? You have to be high to eat that right?

High...or at any picnic or party with buffet food.


I had one this evenin, as it happens...'twas rather nice.
