Congratulations, Christine! You won my apron, thanks to your charitable donation to Menu for Hope.

And thanks so much to everyone else who voted but unfortunately did not win the raffle. (I didn’t win anything either, though I had my heart pretty set on the “fully-loaded shelf” of books from Serious Eats.) I am so glad to discover that food blog readers are such a generous, caring, noble bunch. Chez Pim raised $91,188 for The World Food Programme, 50% more than last year’s Menu for Hope — what a spike. I’m not sure how many people that sum will bring more food to, but if you ask me, cost calculator-wise, that’s a lot of food! So thanks again, everyone. Christine, shoot me a line and I’ll get the apron out to you. It might even come with a surprise in its pocket…
