E-bake sale

To supplement her income after a divorce, one woman is selling boxes of homemade cookies on eBay. She'll mail a variety of treats for all of the major holidays for $100.

From the NYTimes article:
Though it might seem unusual to commission cookies from a stranger, on the eBay scale of oddity, it ranks pretty low.
So, I tend to cook elaborate dinners multiple times per week and always have a lot of leftovers. Last night was red lentil soup with lime and quinoa, and there is a good gallon still in my fridge. Maybe I should Craigslist it. (Cookie story from Mighty Girl.)

About
Moira Burke

Psst! This is the blog of Moira Burke, a Ph.D. student in the HCI Institute at Carnegie Mellon University.

Rife with derivative pop culture blather, this site occasionally features thoughts on social psychology, usability, aesthetics, and the general meanderings of someone figuring out the meaning of life. Won't you help me find it?
