|Recipe exchange|
A lovely message I received in my inbox yesterday:
You have been invited to be a part of a recipe exchange
Please send a recipe to the person whose name is in position 1 (even if you don’t know them) and it should be something quick, easy and without rare ingredients. Actually, the best one is the one you know in your head and can type right now. Don’t agonize over it, it is the one you make when you are short on time.After you’ve sent your recipe to the person in position 1 below and only to that person, copy this email into a new email, move my name to the top and put your name in position 2. Only my and your names should show when you send your email. Send to 20 friends BCC (blind copy). If you cannot do this within 5 days, let me know so it will be fair to those participating. You should receive 36 recipes.
It’s fun to see where they come from! Seldom does anyone drop out because we all need new ideas!
The turnaround is fast, as there are only 2 names on the list and you only have to do this once!
