Will work for food

As many of you know, I'm an Internet consultant. I help people and companies in a variety of ways: Web hosting, search engine optimization, content generation, you get the idea.

Usually I trade out my services for greenbacks. I send out a QuickBooks invoice and I receive a check back in the mail. The check is then deposited into my ecommandos checking account. It's weird because I usually never see the currency.

That all changed a couple of weeks ago when a friend of mine decided she needed a website and asked me if I could assist her. My friend Lizz is a personal chef and has performed this way for quite some time. She's made the decision to "up the ante" and will be spending more and more time on the personal chef front and less time in her regular job that she's had for a while. So when I offered to assist her to get her website up and running and to potentially barter the services out for food, she jumped at the offer. So far, my wife and I have received three loaves of bread and two full meals all of which have been delicious and exciting. I never thought the arrival of a different type of currency would be so much fun
