The proposal
I am not charging money.
Baked goods in trade for a drink and a story.
Water, juice, booze, you name it, you bring it, we drink it, you leave with the treat you have requested.
The below prices are suggestions of how much it will cost for me to make it, make your trade or your story worth the price. One good story, no drink needed.
It's the people that make making the food worth it.
My whole life has revolved around food (like everyone). But what I didn't realize until lately is that food is better, best even, when it's shared. When the food comes with a story, or cup of coffee.
I want to make food. But I want / need someone to eat it. Tell me what you want, I'll make it, when you come to pick it up, we'll share a beverage, a story or two, and you'll leave with the treat of your choice.
The goods
So basically, I don't want to charge money. The point of cooking is to share food with others, as far as I'm concerned. So the below menu are suggestions, thoughts, things I know. Things I don't. Pick and choose. Just know that payment is the form of a drink, water, wine, other. When you come to pick up said baked good, we share a drink, chat, you leave with your treat.

These are things I enjoy making and have them down pretty well. These would be for trade of something I find monetarily similar - Yellow Beers.
