Pound-for-Pound Toffee Party (North Oakland)

[serene]

When: Feb 20 (Sunday)
Time: 2-5pm
Where: Serene's place

What: Pound-for-Pound Toffee Party

Bring a pound of one of the following, and take home a pound of homemade toffee!

chocolate chips (any kind)
chopped nuts (any kind)
butter (real, salted)

I will either teach you to make it or make it for you, as you please. There will be other snacks and drinks available.

if you're not able to bring a pound of stuff for any reason, you can help with setup or cleanup in exchange for your pound of toffee, or you can pay me for it, but you'll need to let me know ahead of time so I buy enough stuff. We can make three batches of toffee at a time -- if there's time, we can make second batches, which you can get for another pound of stuff or $10 a pound if I provide all the stuff.

Sound like fun? Then come! RSVP would be helpful, but not essential -- either leave a comment here or send me an email. serene@serenepages.org

(We have a big day on the 19th, so it'll depend on how much oomph I have left, but I'd like to.)

We have gotten in the habit of mailing toffee as gifts to family. You are invited to be honorary family for toffee purposes, if you like. :-) (If so, send me your snail-mail address and I'll ship you some of the next batch I make. On the house, as it were. "On the basement apartment" doesn't roll off the tongue.)

Ya know, your parties all sound fabulous; I always wish I could come to your handicrafts get-togethers (my current obsession is crochet, I just finished the silliest, darlingest purple hat) and now *toffee* get-togethers? *swoon*

Sometimes I wish Andi would get a move on with that f@~%ing teleporter...

Feh. I leave on the 18th.

I was about to suggest inviting myself over to see it done and try my hand at it, but great minds think alike.

I believe I can be there! Let me know if you have a preference for butter or nuts.

Oh, what a great idea for a gathering! Yet another reason I'm sad to have given away all my weekends this year to another goal ... hope the party is splendid. :)

[micheinnz.livejournal.com]

What a wonderful idea!

Pity I can't get my damn transporter to go.

(And I received your postcard on Wednesday -- it's nifty! Thank you!)

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

Throw your own! ;-)

You're welcome.

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

No preference, and it'll be great to see you. And I feel just terrible for not acknowledging your amazingly sweet chicken-soup offer. We were just so overwhelmed, and when I get that way, I get phone-avoidant. Thank you a million.

[berkeleyfarm.livejournal.com]

No problemo. Glad you are coming out of it.

Aww Shucks!!

[marci-ny.livejournal.com]

Hi Serene!! I wish I lived in CA! Would love to go your parties! Your toffee sounds amazing!! YUM! :) Wanted to thank you for the post card you sent; it was such a nice surprise ~ you made my day! =)

first one's free?!?

Dammit. I can't keep track of time any more. I had no idea this was the week until I saw eeyore_grrl's post. Grr. Sorry, love. Hope you know I haven't stopped wanting to see you; I've just stopped being able to keep track of time.

Whoa, I don't know who you are, but I just stumbled on this entry and now I'm salivating and doing my thinking-of-toffee dance.
