Do you have a PayPal (or similar) account setup for collecting funds?

[email protected] is a working PayPal account.

I'm good for $20.

Consider it payment for your work growing the tech community in Madison, WI as well as a down payment for your future evangelism on the behalf of Madison.

Oh, and I wouldn't mind some baked goods!

Since you're nearby, you get a few options of baked goods: fresh baked bread; key lime pie with or without meringue; fabulous old-fashioned gingersnaps; oatmeal raisin and/or chocolate-chip cookies; or chocolate cake with cream cheese or coconut/walnut frosting. Pick one, and we'll coordinate drop-off when it's ready :)

I would have pegged a Mainer to make a mean Fluffernutter Pie. :) I'd love the key lime pie (without meringue). Thanks!

We hippies aren't so into the fluff.

(Although I do have a jar in my cupboard at the moment... Don't tell Mom... :p)

Oddly enough, I didn't know about fluffernutter pie until just a little while ago, reading a cooking blog that's written by a New Englander. Funny what you learn about your heritage when you're no longer in it! In any case, I'll gladly make one for you, if you'd prefer that over the key lime--it'd be a fun challenge :)

I'm sending money to your paypal right now. Thanks for all of the amazing things you've done for the tech community in Milwaukee/Madison :}

You're a little further than @gtracy, so key lime pie is a little too squishy to send... But if you want some home-baked bread or cookies or cupcakes... (Also, I make a mean fruit bread with slices of orange and lemon rind!)

Cupcakes! :D
