I’ll help out however I can. In the meantime I’m looking into some items on your wishlist @Metal_Janet.

A few of us were kicking ideas around tonight, and hit on the notion of $50 pancakes… basically a $43 donation to the space that gets you $7 worth of ridiculously fancy ingredients and an experience to remember. Like gold leaf, fruit juice caviar, pyrotechnics on your food kinda stuff. My home kitchen is pretty experimental, so I won’t have to gamble any money on ingredients.
Anybody down for some culinary stupidity for a good cause?

I have left a two burner induction hotplate and griddle in the kitchen
The induction needs two seperate pans (cause it needs to be magnetically isolated ) so maybe the cast iron griddle won’t be useable for both sides I’ll come up with something by next week

I’m pretty excited about pancake toppings and may need to stray from my usual lemon and sugar. I hear rumours of banana/nutella and other delicious things as well as the mega-watt 3-phase $50 electric pancake.

What are the three price points for? Just different suggested donation values or actually getting different things?

The $5 donation gets you a fairly basic range of pancake toppings-- butter and syrup, cinnamon and sugar, lemon and sugar, berries and whipped cream, cheddar cheese.
The $10 donation gets you fancier toppings-- banana nutella, pancakes suzette, bananas foster, cherries jubilee, ham/cheese/onion.
The $50 option is a surprise gourmet insanity pancake.

hi folks, I’m new here but I’d love to help out with the fundraiser. @Metal_Janet let me know if you need a volunteer for cooking and donation collection.

I might be inclined to making the pancakes sourdough, we do have to pay respect to the fact that VHS is a doughocracy now and converting the world to sourdough is our purpose.
Also welcome Aaron thanks for offering to help!

I was thinking about that… with the permit there is a prohibition on serving the public anything that has been prepared at home, so we can’t make this a dough-ocracy event, sadly.
However, if somebody wanted to get a little black market sourdough thing happening solely for VHS members, well separated from the main pancake production, I think I could look the other way.

Hi Aaron! I would love some volunteer help. The event will start at 7, but we’ll be setting up for an hour or two beforehand. Show up when you can, bring a hat or something to tie your hair back.
Thanks, and looking forward to working with you! It was nice to meet you and have a chat at the space on Thursday.

Only one week until Electric Pancakes! Prepare yourselves for the mega-watt, 3-phase option. I have been sworn to secrecy so can say no more.

Heya - some electric griddles would still be ideal for pancake making. Can anyone loan us some? We promise to take good care of them.
