Here are the basic instructions with updated information in order to participate in Menu for Hope, as written about in my earlier post. Again, my bid item is a signed copy of My Nepenthe plus goodies from my kitchen, including a jar of apple butter and a pound of homemade granola. Additionally, it includes a gift certificate for dinner for 2 (value $100) at Nepenthe Restaurant, Big Sur. My bid item is UW14.

Here’s what you need to do:

1. Choose a bid item or bid items of your choice from our Menu for Hope main bid item list.
