I will make you a fresh loaf of bread every week for a month (4 loaves) delivered to a Cville city location or pickup downtown. These will be made out of fresh ground whole grains that still have all approx 26 of the nutrients available for your nourishment — these nutrients start to oxidize and become unavailable about 24 hours after grinding. These will be ground moments before entering your bread! You can choose among about 12 different grains along with 3 kinds of wheat, have grainy or smooth, have loaves or rolls. I’m offering 2 of these services. Top bidder gets to choose their month first. Schedule/timing of loaves is negotiable.

Shecan also point you to the places in town where you can purchase bread almost this good. 🙂

I think I have molasses in my DNA. I learned how to make gingerbread houses from my mother when I was a kid, and over the last 30 years, I’ve made over one hundred houses for my family, for gifts and for sale at craft shows.

I will provide all the ingredients and equipment to either teach and guide you, or to just deliver the finished product, and will be happy to schedule at a mutually agreed time in December. It will last as long as you can refrain from nibbling on it! 🙂

-Cville TimeBank member Kathy

Would you like to have a home-made gingerbread house at your place this Christmas?? Maybe you want a practiced set of hands to guide you through so you can make it and present it to your grandkids?

However we get there, you’ll have a completely edible and uniquely beautiful gingerbread house at the end of the journey.
