Thursday Night Giveback
Tonight, rather than spend my money on crab claws or lobster tails or vanilla beans or porterhouse steaks, I’ll be donating the average amount of a Smackdown to Haitian earthquake relief, and I’ll add another dollar for everyone who comments on this post before Saturday at noon EST.
If you did the same on your blog – whatever you can afford, a dollar per comment, a quarter per comment, a dime per comment – we could really shake some shit up.

Prayers, love, and hope to all of those affected by this horrible tragedy.
Thank you.
Mad props, and I’ll be retweeting your generous offer.
So great that so many blogs are doing this!
thank you!
delurking to say thank you
Generous — I feel guilty adding a dollar to your total.
You are doing awesome.
great way to contribute! I’ll be back to have a read as well
Praying for the people of Haiti…
Very kind!
I think this effort is totally awesome (in the words of my granddaughter). Let’s hope it goes to the people that really need it and not into any corrupt officials. It sounds like you have that covered. Again, totally awesome girl.
Thanks for doing this.
Thank you for your generosity.
Ring up another one, nice lady. Thank you for doing this!
That is a wonderful thing to do.
Thanks for all your generosity!
These comment donations plans are truly all a great idea, good for you.
It’s awesome that you’re doing this.
Thank you so much for doing this.
From one Michelle to another, good job.
I was sent to your site via Not Martha, this is really generous of you.
Praying for the people of Haiti – Thank you for doing this.
Thanks so much for this.
Great idea – thank you!
You’re fucking awesome.
I’m not doing anything through my blog since I’m fairly certain no one reads it. However, I do sell gourmet food as a side job and have pledged to donate 20% (nearly all that I make) of product sold through Jan 31 to Partners in Health. Haven’t mentioned before because I’m not that much of a whore. But I will whore myself out for Haiti. Anyone is welcome to contact me if you want more details!!
Thank you for your generosity and thank you to the people who are matching the funds.
Amazing! Thank you so much! I have passed the info on to friends!
Thanks for doing this!
Awesome idea – brava!
rock on!
I, too, think that you’re extra super awesome for this.
Thanks Michelle, seems your heart is as big as your humor is wicked….
What a wonderful thing to do, thank you!
Thank you for doing this. And just as a reminder to everyone (not because you haven’t heard it, but maybe you haven’t done it yet) you can donate $10 to the Red Cross via cell phone by texting the word HAITI to 90999.
Every cell phone carrier (in the US) is waiving the fees if you choose to do so.
You’re a good person
Thank you for your generosity!
What a wonderful idea. Going to go donate some of my own.
One more reason to love this site besides the awesome cooking and the wicked humor. You rock!!!
Thanks for doing this.
Normally this would be a witty comment. Great work, Michelle.
Nice. Thank you oh so much.
This is awesome! I’m going to donate on my own, which would be about the same as what it would be if I hosted a similar thing on my own blog, since I don’t get many comments.
Yay for bloggers doing good things!
[...] Thursday Night Smackdown: is donating $1 for every comment left before Saturday at noon EST. HURRY! [...]
Good for you!
You’re great.
Nobody reads my blog, but I actually WORK at a website that helps nonprofits raise money online, and it’s been amazing to watch the support just explode. Not just more people making fundraising pages for Haiti relief, but the amounts donated are amazing. Doctors Without Borders actually MAXED OUT their Haiti coffers and asked us to stop letting people make new pages for them.
It’s amazing to see the outpouring of help and efforts like this all over the place. I like people.
One more reason to love this blog.
Consider me commented!
Good for you, what you’re doing is a wonderful thing.
Can’t think of a better reason to delurk. Thank you for always making me laugh, and for being so generous.
