    Jorge

    This post may contain affiliate links.

    Well I think an introduction is in order here.  Kitchen Konfidence readers, please meet Jorge, my boyfriend.  In just 7 days, Jorge will be embarking on a 4 day 330 mile bike ride that is raising money and awareness for HIV/AIDS-related services.  If you’re a regular here on Kitchen Konfidence, you probably know that I usually keep personal chit chat to a minimum.  But I’ve decided to dedicate this entire post to Jorge and the NorCal AIDS Cycle because it’s a cause I’m truly passionate about.  I have several friends affected by this virus, so I try to do my best to raise funds when I can. Unfortunately, I’m not a cyclist.  I’m a writer.  I’m a photographer.  And I’m a home cook.  So I’ve come up with a fun giveaway below to help raise funds for Jorge’s ride that involves some seriously tasty treats.  Continue reading for details.

    If you donate just $50 to Jorge’s ride, I will personally send you a entire batch of Salted Brown Butter Rice Crispy Squares.  That’s right.  12 delicious morsels delivered to your doorstep.  A perfect balance of gooey, crispy and salty, these treats are utterly addicting.  After donating, you’ll not only be enjoying the squares pictured below, you’ll also have the satisfaction of knowing that you supported a great cause.  A cause much in need of additional funding.

    So please, take a quick moment and donate here.  This giveaway is restricted to US residents only.  I wish I could send these scrumptious treats to other parts of the world, but I know they would not arrive in good condition.  Salted Brown Butter Rice Crispy Squares will be sent out one to two weeks after a donation has been made.  A big thanks to all who have donated or plan on donating.  We really, really appreciate it.

      My boyfriend and I wanted to do this AIDS cycle race too (I think it’s the same one?), but we are too flabby… hehe. WAY TO GO for you and Jorge for raising awareness about this awesome fundraiser, and for being so active in this cause. 🙂

        There are two AIDS cycle races in California. There’s the small one I did, which is 330 mile. Then there’s the big AIDS Life Cycle from San Francisco to Los Angeles, that one is 550 miles! 4 days vs 7 days. I haven’t done the big ride, but the “small” one was a lot of fun, with a lot less people and felt more like family.

        I was surprised at how much easier it was than I thought. I didn’t train that well to be honest 🙂

        You can always also join as crew, and that’s also fun

      I never got around to reviewing them, but that’s only because I ate them too quickly. I’ve had these rice krispies, and if the cause isn’t enough to get donations..they’re still worth a premium price.

      I’ve been phasing out of my own cycling, but I used to compete. I hope Jorge has plenty of these for the ride – back to back 90 milers will require some serious fuel.
