Über foodblogger Chez Pim recently unveiled the Menu for Hope II over on her site. I'll let her explain it:
Last year, we raised a substantial sum to support the victims of the Tsunami in Southeast Asia. This year, a group of us food bloggers would like to ask our readers—that would be you—to help us raise funds to support the victims of the devastating earthquake in the Kashmir region of India and Pakistan. ... We are once again using the site Just Giving to collect the donation. In the interest of transparency, Just Giving will do all the collection and forward the funds directly to Unicef, our recipient organization. The fund will be earmarked to support the victims of the Kashmir earthquake.
Foodbloggers by the bushelful are donating prizes to help Pim raise money for the earthquake victims, and this year, Slice is throwing its chef's toque in the ring. Donate as little as $5 to the cause, and you'll be entered in a raffle to win the "menu" item of your choice. There are many. (Click here for Pim's Menu for Hope so far).
This being a pizza site, you're probably interested in our offerings. They are (drumroll, please):
A pizza party for four (4) at Slice HQ: I know it's cold out now, and the last thing anyone can probably imagine doing is grilling, but don't the best things come to those who wait? I have a sparse but welcoming garden space attached to my apartment, and the winner and his/her companions will be guests of honor at a grilled-pizza cookout when the weather turns nice (I'll work out a date with the finalist). My fellow Slice editors will be on hand, and we can all shoot the breeze about pizza while eating some delicious (if I do say so myself) fresh-from-the-grill pies.
A pizza-making kit: For those of you who are not in New York City, unable to travel here, or who just find the idea of dining with Slice all too odious, we'll send you a pizza stone, pizza peel, and Peter Reinhart's American Pie, which is chocked full of great pizza recipes and inspiration.
ENTER THE RAFFLE HERE. $5 minimum per prize (but more is welcome if you can afford it). As per your preference, type either "Slice Pizza Party" or "Slice Pizza-Making Kit" in the comment/notes field when you arrive at that screen.
Thanks, Wena! There's only one other person registered for the pizza-making kit so far, so you've got a good chance of winning it.
Unfortunately, no one has registered yet for the grilled-pizza party. Guess the girlfriend was right when she said, "Eating pizza with you and the other Slice guys? You call THAT a prize?!?"
Thanks for commenting! Your comment has been accepted and will appear in a moment.
