    Love and Support

    You guys, isn’t my bf just the cutest :)?

    This post may contain affiliate links.

    Jorge

    Well in addition to being cute (and smart and funny), he’s also quite the philanthropist. In just under 2 weeks, Jorge will be embarking on a 7 day bike ride that starts in San Francisco and ends in Los Angeles. Known as the AIDS Lifecycle, this 545-mile bike ride benefits the HIV/AIDS services of the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center and the San Francisco AIDS Foundation.  Jorge is riding with a team called the Pork Pedalers.  How perfect is that?!  I love pork!

    So far, Jorge has raised $4,400 for his ride. I know, incredible right?! Well his total goal for this year is $7,500, and he needs a little more help reaching that goal by June 1st. Continue reading for more details plus a delicious incentive. Hint: these treats are made with brown butter, marshmallow, flaky salt and puffed rice cereal.

    JorgeJorge If you’d like to help Jorge reach his $7,500 goal for this years AIDS Lifecycle, please visit his donation page. AND if you donate $50 or more, I will personally make you the most delicious batch of Salted Brown Butter Rice Krispy Squares (US residents only). These treats are nutty, gooey, sweet, salty, and completely addictive. Take a look:

    A big thanks to everyone who has helped and will help Jorge reach his $7,500 fundraising goal. This is such a special cause, and he is such a special guy. Your love and support is much appreciated.

    Jorge, TiVo and Boris

    Thanks again!

    With much love,
    Brandon, Jorge, TiVo and Boris

      Congrats to Jorge for embarking on this heroic endeavor! I have a friends riding with Team San Diego, although Pork Pedalers is far more creative, and who doesn’t love pork?!

      And big congrats to you, Brandon! We met at a Thomas Keller book signing for Ad Hoc at Home, and I think you were just beginning this journey with Kitchen Konfidence. What you’ve created is so beautiful and inspiring! Congrats!!

      Cheers,
      Derek

        Hi Derek, so great to hear from you! I’ll be sure to pass along your words of encouragement to Jorge.

        And thanks so much! Can you believe it’s been about 4 years since that Thomas Keller book signing? I remember I was trying to figure out a blog name when we first met.
