I think Abbie also mentioned that because the refrigerator was bigger (deeper) they had to redo the cabinet next to it both for space and aesthetics. Why wouldn’t you just keep the 5 YO appliance that fit the original space?

How would everyone know how much more Jesus loves her than them if she doesn't have to absolute very best most trendy kitchen ever?

Just like all bake sale foods need to be shelf stable/not in need of temperature control. So no cream pies, cream cookies, nothing with egg or dairy, basically.

Huh. Bake sales must be really different in the US then. I mean, Germany is normally full of bureaucracy and rules and regulations for everything, but I’ve never really heard about specific rules for bake sales (non-commercial, so at a school or church or local community or sports event where volunteers bake and sell cake and the proceeds typically go to charity or to fund activities of the school/church/club etc that hosted).

People bake cakes (yes, including egg, cheese and dairy, cheesecake is typically everyone’s favorite and sells out quickly), they are put in a fridge until needed and then put out on a table. The volunteers selling will of course wash their hands and use utensils to cut and hand over the cake, it’s either put on a plate or wrapped in paper for takeout. And that’s it.

l’ve never seen a sign that the food hasn’t been prepared in a professional kitchen (because I guess that’s a given when you buy at such kind of bake sale). Recently a note listing the ingredients of the cake has become more common, but even that is fairly new. Allergies are not that common here and people with serious allergies usually wouldn’t rely on a note anyway.

Jed and Jer both have the middle name Robert after Jim-Bob, so 4 sons named after James-Robert 🙄

Bake sales require a temporary food establishment permit, unless it's a non-profit operating for charity, religion, or educational purposes. So a school can have a bake sale, as long as items are individually wrapped and labeled with "food was prepared in a kitchen not inspected by the health department." 

A person who is selling goods on Facebook would  need a cottage food permit, a business license, and an inspection. They also require you to have a pet management plan and a childcare plan. (Ie, pets and kids under six can not be in the kitchen while preparing food to sell. My stupid open concept house that i hate is the reason im not bringing in an extra 30K in pickles. Seriously, hate that people decided to not have muliple spaces and doors to kitchens.)  They can call it a reward for donation, but washington state considers it selling, and specifically mentions the use of social media to facilitate the trade of food product for money. 

The fine for selling or giving away food to the public without a permit is up to $1000 a day!

I would be so frustrated if I couldn't keep a job because of my adhd, and would at least try to self medicate with caffeine and other street stimulants if I couldn't get Concerta or Ritalin or whatever it's called now. Also diet works for some people. Either way, it sucks to be in a position where they feel like they can't take care of themselves due to finances. 

But they are a charity! /s

Thank you for clarifying the pie situation. It appears they are going to sell pies according to their language. They aren't the sharpest tool in the box to not even consider the potential problems with selling baked goods. 

As far as the ADHD goes, I agree. If they are working with a mental health professional you'd think the topic of why they don't feel they can work would be discussed. Unfortunately I just think it's another excuse for why they can't work.
