Thanks to my very own raffle elves

Forgive me friends, my brain was far too clouded by coupes of fizzy champagne new years eve that I forgot to thank the food blogging elves who kindly showed up at my place last week to help me process the raffle.

Thanks to Fatemeh, Heidi, Elise, Amy, Faith, Shuna, and Brett with his sweetheart in tow, we managed the huge task of compiling the donor's names, making raffle tickets, and sort them into appropriate pots for the prize drawing. It was non-trivial, let me just tell you that. I don't even want to think how long it would have taken me had I done it alone! Thanks so much you all. You rock. And, yes, Elise, next year we are going to be looking around for some non-manual solutions for this task.
