Guest guest Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Just tonight I made a Bette recipe, and my family all loved it. I sent a silent thank you to her. Now I'll keep her and her family in my prayers.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 I was very sad when I heard this news on another message board that I'm on. (Sorry to any SillyYaks, who have already read this post..) I wanted to do something to celebrate Bette Hagman's life and contributions to all of our gluten free lives... So I had this little idea... I would like to propose over the next two weeks from August 20th to September 3rd that as many of us as possible bake something from one of Bette Hagman's cookbooks, and take a really beautiful photo of the baked good that we produce. I would like to think of each photo as a flower bouquet honoring Bette Hagman, and so include at least one beautiful flower (and possibly a flower bouquet) in the background of your photo or placed on the baked good like the photo I posted on my blog. Post your photo on your blog along with a short (one or two line) note on the impact Bette Hagman had on your life or baking, and email me the link. If you feel comfortable doing so, include a wallet sized photograph of yourself in the post or email. If you don't have a blog, that's ok, just send me the photo(s) and your message. Please size your photo to be about the same size as the photo posted on my blog. I will personally take these photos to Kinkos, create a poster/card of some kind with the images and our personal messages, and mail them to the Gluten Intolerance Group, in care of Kupper, so that she may deliver the card to Bette's daughter. I will also do a roundup on this site with all the photos. I would really love for Bette Hagman's family to know how many of our lives Bette touched with her cookbooks. ------------------------- I also posted this on my blog, and am hoping to get participants from other gluten free bloggers. My blog is at www.bookofyum.com, and you can see the post there and the photo that I was talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
