Best of FPF: Trading Skills

Posted on Thursday, November 21, 2024 by Comments are off for this post

Barbara turned to FPF in Wolcott to trade her skills for another’s. We thought it was well worth a share:

“I will make a five-course meal (choose from menu) in exchange for anyone who can successfully get any one of my three printers working with my laptop. Rave reviews for my cooking; how’s your computer smarts? Thanks!”

Here’s how things turned out:

“I got 3 offers; the first one who contacted me was a nice young woman who works in IT. She came and hooked up two of the printers. She brought home a meal of lamb kebabs marinated in yogurt, saffron, and garlic with baby potatoes, sweet peppers, onions served on a bed of fresh cooked spinach. Dessert was a pan of warm brownies. Very happy with this FPF success!”
