Stealth is Not My Strength

The sisterhood started by Sophie Slim was out in force this weekend with a ninja cookie drop

170 recipients from round NZ received a surprise parcel of baked goodies

Delivered in stealth by over-excited sisterhood members everywhere - or not so stealthly in my case.


I had one of those is this the right house?, I don't want to leave it in the letterbox in case they don't check it, where is the right door?.... kind of moments.

In the end I came to the ranch slider with a whole family looking at me on the other side as I checked using mime if I had the right number then I dropped the cookies in full view of them all and ran - no not at all an awkward mr bean type moment......!!!

So much fun though - secret baking missions are the best. I'm sure there will be another one in the future.

Thanks Sophie and the sisterhood for organising such a great, love sharing activity.
Course if you are all disappointed you missed out you can always just do your own for fun - bake, package, drop - make a strangers day.

      I bet you can - I'm hardly a model of discretion

    That's just funny. I can only imagine what the family were thinking as a strange lady was standing outside miming to them in broad daylight :-)

Hi - if you comment from a mobile device I'll be able to read it but it won't show up because I use intense debate for other comments. I'd still love to know what you are thinking :o) xx
