Excellent video, unique.
That’s going out to the e-mail list, and FB Friends...

I don't know if this has been posted already or not. I posted it in the FR weekly cooking thread, but thought it would get even more viewings/clicks by posting it here as well.

Help Taste of Home donate up to $100,000 to the USO by viewing their Flag Cake

Saying thanks to the men and women in the Armed Forces has never been easier. View this patriotic recipe before the 4th of July and Taste of Home will donate 10¢ to the USO for every person who visits.

[HiJinx]

Man, that looks like a lot of work!
Bet it’s tasty, though.

[luvie]

I “get” to work! Feh

Hope you get to be off!

[HiJinx]

We’re off on Monday - lots of household chores over the weekend, though; and furniture shopping with the youngest Sunday after Church.

Never a dull moment around here!

[BIGLOOK]

Aloha Netizen!

That's it? Just visit the site and Taste of Home's donations will increase?

Done! And I encourage all Canteeners to do the same.

[BIGLOOK]

Aloha kakahiaka Ladies!

See the post above and stand the rails.

Howdy! I am glad you got a lot done! I guess you are on vacation?

Very nice for you if so! :) Have a GREAT weekend!

[Netizen]

Yep, click the link to that cake recipe and they will donate a dime for each click, up to $100,000. I get their newsletters and some recipes in email and knew exactly where to post it! :)

Every little bit helps. You might want to repost it in future threads as well. Its good til July 4.

[Netizen]

It does look like it would be a bit of work. I’d set aside a little extra time for it, though just to be sure.

[luvie]

Yummers! I did visit and wanted a slice! LOL!

[Arrowhead1952]

My holiday since we are on a four day work week.
