Pass it forward

I am being Chatty Cathy today aren't I?!?!?!

I really enjoyed doing the mystery gift last year...an I thought about seeing if anyone wanted to do it again..but then thought about something we did on my scrapbooking forum...

you state a object that you have that you don't want or might have to much of..in this case I think American items would be good...and someone says oooh I will have that...and then they put something on the table so to speak...


but then I thought this might be tricky as something REALLY good more than one person would want it and a fight would ensue...LOL

anyone got any other suggestions..or even go back to the mystery person &Gift.....

i don't know the rules in regards to the mystery gift, but i like your new idea.  i'm assuming that since you posted it under "food talk" that you are referring to trading american food products?

for instance, if i had a bag of cheetos that i was willing to part with, i could post it up for grabs and the first person to respond that they want it would get it?  am i understanding this right?  (btw...i don't have a bag of cheetos up for grabs...so don't go getting excited  )

Oooh, that sounds like fun! I think I understand it the same way you do, caligirl. If it were "first come, first served," it seems that would avoid any fighting over items!

Yep that is the kinda thing I am talking about........

Like I have a jar of Fluff..and I have flavoured bisquick...and a I could make up a bag of assorted candies.......

so I would put something forward like that........and then the person that wanted it would say yes I will have that and then they put something forward..and it ends when I say I want something...

then someone else could start it off again...and it keeps goin around...the only problem would be if someone put something forward no one wanted.........then after a few days you might have to change your offered item to get it going again......

But yes it would def be first come first serve and I think you would have to limit it to taking something only once...even tho something better might come along.......thems the breaks!!!

Somebody start it off with a bag of hot fries!!!!! I could just KILL for a bag of hot fries!! Funny enough, I never think to have anybody back home send any! I'm too busy asking for more important things....

I'll play... although im not completely sure i understand the rules. 

What on earth is 'flavoured Bisquick' though?

There packets of bisquick...that are flavoured..I have butter honey flavoured..or just honey flavoured

but you can get it in 3 cheese or cinnamon..which if REALLY nice I make them up and drizzle icing over them...like a cinnamon roll........mmmmm

   OMG!!   

We need more than just us 4 or 5 to play.........

OMG! That bisquick looks so good!!! I miss all the new things they come out with back home. (except musky lifesavers......)

we did a "try something new" thing at our development session...we brought something that we liked and exchanged it with someone that had something we've never tried before. I brought some Puerto Rican coffee and I exchanged for a bag of some yummy japanese yakisoba noodles and some Pocky almond sticks ..they were actually yummy. We're supposed to do it again in sept and I haven't a clue what to exchange...I hope someone brings in some lumpia ..I've not had any in ages

there are nice I order them from cybercandy when they have them in or I get them sent in a care package!

I am not fussed on the honey ones...but love the 3 cheese and cinnamon ones!

I can't imagine cheesy bisquick, but it sounds super yummy!! Is it expensive getting it from cybercandy? I've not really looked round the site.....(kinda afraid to)

yeah there are a bit..but i suppose if you way up the cost of shipping things from the USA it works out maybe a bit cheaper.......i think they prey on ppl being desperate for taste of "home"

on things like cereal they are really high...on some thing I don't think they are to bad!

my best friends mom used to make the BEST biscuits...

used to take bisquick
cheez wiz
and raw saugage meat

and mix it up and either make them in large'ish balls or cut them into biscuits and then bake them.......
OMG they are great!!!

it is great with apple sauce!!!
