Will work for food

Bartering is a time-honored tradition among tradespeople, a group of people I associate myself with.  Okay, so I'm not a carpenter or cooper or cobbler, but I have appreciable skills!  Anyway, I've recently been editing essays for people in my building, and this time I received compensation in the form of food.


These are peanut butter cookies made my Michelle.  I don't know that my feedback was what she needed since she apparently has a professor with crazy demands, but I did what I could.  Anyway, the cookies were lovely, especially since I have a fondness for peanut butter (I actually bought some over the weekend since I had a hankering for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich).  I would've looked at Michelle's essay for free, but I'm happy she chose to sweeten the deal.

P.S.  I had lunch at Pepe's Pizza today.  They have a pizza buffet, which I got for $3.75 on a site called Munch on Me.  Again, this was my third day in a row having pizza, and while the pizza at Pepe's wasn't as good as the ones I'd had previously, it was sufficient for lunch.  I had a slice of combination, pepperoni, Hawaiian, and two of buffalo chicken as well as a bit of green salad and some nachos.  The greasy pastas and who-knows-how-old prepared salads and soups did not appeal to me.  I'd have taken a picture, but I don't think you'd be interested.  It's Shakey's Bunch-a-Lunch but not as good.

In short, I ate out, but it was really cheap, and I actually spent the money a week ago when the deal first appeared on the site.
