XXX Cookie Exchange 2012 [Bake Harder] MATCHES SENT

StaleStale Registered User regular
edited November 2012 in Social Entropy++
Ok folks, it's cookie time. This year your resident Queen of Ceremonies is me because all the other queens were busy being lazy.

So, what is this Stale?

It's a cookie/baked goods exchange. You bake shit, you send shit, you feel warm and fuzzy. Maybe you get lucky and someone does the same for you. It's a roll of the dice, much like life. Sometimes you get delicious cookies, sometimes you get AIDS.

Can I join in? I don't bake and am too poor for shipping...

Fuck no. Crawl off somewhere and die.

What about me? I live in Swaziland.

Hell no. International shipping is a bitch and customs hate baked goods. Should have had the good sense to be born in the correct country.

Ok, I bake, I live in Portland, and I can afford shipping, but I'm allergic to wheat, chocolate, coconut, sugar, and fun.

Look, we will do our best to accommodate serious allergies. But no promises. If your throat closes up if someone who had a peanut butter sandwich walks in the room, maybe you should skip this. Or give up and swallow a bullet. Seriously, peanut butter is fucking awesome.

OK Stale, I'm down, how do I sign up?

you send an email to : sepluspluscookies@gmail.com

subject should be your forum name i.e. numba1dicksucka87

body should contain

Your real name
Your real address
your absent times i.e. I won't be home Dec 20-26
allergies i.e. peanuts kill me
preferences i.e. I hate Coconut and Jesus

no special requests, no complaints, no nothing. I'm being nice and saying you can put down things you hate but this isn't a mail order service. You get what you get.

Now, signs ups will go until Nov 16th. That is 2 weeks to decide, plenty of time. I'll send out the matches shortly thereafter and you have about a month to send out your treats.

***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
EDIT: as of 11/14 this will be a 2:1 exchange. Meaning, you will be baking for 2 people, and thus, two people will bake for you. More treats, more fun. So it is written. So it is law.
***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************


Deadline for Delivery is Monday December 24th. No Exceptions. No Excuses. No Surrender.

    Doing this again this year. I got scrooged last year but fuck it, I had a blast making a mess in the kitchen.

    As well as learning about melting chocolate and adding moisture and how that's bad unless you're making a foundation for your house.

    E: Also thank you for picking up this torch, @Stale

    Man I wish I could do this... no oven makes it difficult. I got a metric ton of cookies last year from skettios and it was pretty awesome!

    oooo I think my person will get some chocolate sheet cake this year, assuming they aren't allergic or not fond of chocolate
    maybe

  • PeenPeen Registered User regular
    yes yes yes yes yes yes

    Oh man, baking before Xmas is probably a nonstarter for me

    But I'll think about it

    we can do our own lil exchange ;)

  • UsagiUsagi Nah Registered User regular
    For sure! We should drink things and play boardgames too!

  • MadEddyMadEddy Creepy house watching youRegistered User regular
    I want to do this but I don't have access to an oven right now. Dangit. Maybe I can arrange to use a friend's kitchen.

  • SyphyreSyphyre A Dangerous Pastime Registered User regular
    So pretty much any homemade baked goods that you would consume around Christmas qualifies for this?

    Preferably in an amount that a family of 15 could not eat in one night?

  • StaleStale Registered User regular
    people, it's pretty open ended.

    I'm not gonna lay out 20 rules and regulations for this.

    Treats. I could not care less what they consist of.

    Just make some treats, wrap them up, send them off, deliver before Christmas.

    Try not to kill each other.

    MadEddy obviously we should just make this the cookies (or candy) exchange cause while I may be a miserable failure at caramels I can make a mean marshmallow.

    and obviously candies don't require an oven

    This year I'm gonna do Christmas baking properly for the first time in forever.

    Nothing to do with this thread of course, since its xenophobia city in here. But I'm thinking molasses gingerbread cookies, and maybe a buche Noel if I have time/inclination.

    But baking is the fun part! I think I will have to invade a friend's kitchen. So, not signing up until I get that arranged.

    Doing this. Someone is going to get some cakes. And maybe cookies.

  • jgeisjgeis Registered User regular
    By cakes, I might also mean sweet breads.

    Or sweetbreads, your pick.

    Yes, someone should do that.

    Specifically I nominate @edcrab to run it.

    Hmmm..not sure if I'm doing this again this year. It was fun last year but now that I've got type 2 diabetes I'm limiting my sugar intake quite a bit. I might still do it anyway.

    Just means you get to have an awesome cookie stash for awhile.
    We'll have eaten all of ours too fast and you'll get to lord it over us how you still have cookies

    It means my kids will devour them like the ravaging cookie beasts they are.

    For you, Raijin, I will lovingly hand-shape a batch of fudge butts even without the cookie exchange.

    seriously considering renting a commercial kitchen to do my baking in a single day this year.

    it's not that much really, especially considering I get 6 ovens and industrial equipment.

    I dunno if I can get coordinated enough to do that.

    The kitchen in my student house ain't a baking mans kitchen

    But I plan to bake the fuck out of some cakes when I get home for the Christmas break. See if I can put something worth putting on the table during Christmas day together

    Its less the size of it and more the amount of people who need to use it regularly

    Taking it offline for an afternoon of sweet eats would not earn me favor with the other housemates
