All the Buffista Secret Santa notices have now been sent out. If you didn't get one, or if there are any other problems, email me.

We've talked about it. We've asked for your help. We've taunted about the amazingness of the recipes collected. And, the time has finally come. The cookbooks are about to go to the printer. But, before we print, we need to know how many to print. So, pre-order today.

Now, we know you just got your Secret Santa assignments. This would be the *perfect* gift. What is more Buffistasish than a Buffistas Cookbook? But, make sure you get one for yourself too. And maybe your family.

The cookbook is filled with over 100 pages of delicious, Buffista-approved and loved recipes. It is a must have for every Buffista.

The cost of the cookbook is $10, plus $2.50 for shipping and handling, totaling $12.50 each. Please PayPal buffistascookbook at gmail dot com. Please include the following:

*Quantity
*Name/Shipping address for each cookbook
*Whether or not it is a gift (and if you'd like to remain anonymous)
*E-mail address(es) to send cookbook notification e-cards to

After your order is received, a cookbook notification e-card will be sent to you and your giftees, so you know the order has been received.

Pre-order will be available until November 30, 2005. December 1, the cookbooks will go to the printer, and they will ship the week of December 14 th.

You MUST purchase during the pre-order. We will only be printing as many cookbooks as we sell in the pre-order, so order today!

Thanks!

Buffistas Cookbook Team

I am amused to announce that we are a Neilsen Family for the week of Nov. 17-23. Since we watch PBS and America's Funniest Home Videos and that's about it, we would gladly spend this week watching your favorite shows in need of ratings boosts. Except the ones that Fox cancelled last week. Post your requests for Neilsen viewing in Natter, and they will be recorded.

Cookbook Update

If you do not have a PayPal account and would like to order a cookbook, please e-mail the team at buffistascookbook at gmail dot com. You can send a check. Name for check and mailing address will be e-mailed to you after you e-mail your order.

Thanks!

One more update...

If you're Un-American, e-mail the Cookbook Team at buffistascookbook at gmail dot come, and we'll figure shipping. We'll ship Global Priority Mail, which seems to be the most reasonable and fastest.

ETA: It seems to be $5.00 for shipping GPM to any International destination, so just figure $15.00 total instead of $12.50.

Sneak in if you didn't sign up for the blanket exchange, yet.

It turns out that with my dad visiting, I'll be dark grey through November 29th. Profile addy is good and checked regularly during the week.

Apparantly, Netflix was hit with a class action lawsuit. There is a settlement on it, basically giving current subscribers a free upgrade and ex-subscribers a free month. Details to be found at [link]

Slacker Secret Santa: All of you who want to exchange presents with other Buffistas but haven't mailed Dani about it yet, this is your chance!

Please send your info (board name and snail-mail address) to my profile address until the 5th of December. By then, I'll match you up to pairs of givers and recipients, and let you know which is who.

Your truly,
Tiny Jewish not-Santa
