Last year's winning entry in the Bake-Off, by Betsy!

Last year’s winning entry in the Bake-Off, by Betsy!

Last year, Tara challenged the community to bake a delicious Desert Bus treat! This year, to kick off Liz & Tara’s shift, we’re challenging the community to come up with their take on a Desert Bus recipe.

The key aspect of this challenge is that we’re looking for a recipe. We’d love to see pictures of your creations too, but it’s not required as part of this challenge.

Send your recipes to [email protected] with the subject line “Desert Bus Recipe.” Recipes should be sent as a .txt or .md file, or included in the text of the email. If you’d also like to include a picture, please send it in .png or .jpg format so we can include it on the blog. Please be sure to include the screen name we should use for you on air should your submission win.

The winner of this contest will get a Pokeball Pendant, which has been sweetened with a set of custom stickers and a bottle of ultra fresh air freshener tree sprinkles! You’ll have until 2:00am PST to submit your entries.

0267_001_UncutEMRaresIt’s exciting… we have another uncut sheet of Magic: the Gathering cards up for giveaway! This super shiny uncut foil sheet features rares and mythics from the Eldritch Moon set.

Earlier, Liz shared a personal message about the spirit of what we do here and the work that Child’s Play Charity does across the world, and how $7.00 makes a huge impact to help someone in need. In short, every donation helps, so thank you! So, in the spirit of that, we picked $14.14 for this Donation Drive. (Because we just can’t pick an even number… that would be silly.)

Donate $14.14 (or multiples thereof) for a chance to win this prize. We’ll run this donation drive until 11pm PST.
