[Tastebridge] tastebridge donations

Wed Jul 6 20:42:23 UTC 2011

Than I think we understand each other. People discuss what they want  
to use the money for (preferably in advance) and after that they do  
it. It can be as simple as saying "OK we will spend $25 for the  
Tuesday member meeting dinner, it will be an "Italian night" we need  
these ingredients ... and we are short on baking paper so + that"  
discussed in advance, agreed, money taken from Tastebridge budget,  
prices after shopping put on the web and everyone happy, right? It is  
more work but it is doable and transparent.

Sincerely,

Frantisek

PS I've just got a chance to go for a local farmer market to  
promote/sell probiotic beverages. I'm starting on Friday and have  
around 36 hours to brew something nice :-))) I guess that granos  
tibicos/water kefir grains are going to safe me :-))) Please wish me  
luck, it is my first business opportunity!
