traveling plate
Submitted by lrk352 on 17 March 2009 - 11:44am
Hi!
I had a neighbor this morning bring me a traveling plate of goodies. Has anyone recieved or been given a traveling plate? The plate has a variety of baked goodies on it. After eating and enjoying the goodies it is my turn to make and take goodies and share with someone else and have them continue the plate to someone else. I have heard of bake and take day but was told this is not it. So anyone been on the recieving end or the giving end of a traveling plate? linda
Re: traveling plate
The plate has traveled to a new neighbors home. It is exactly like the one dcharrison has listed. I finally decided on making blueberry muffins, oatmeal raisin cookies and a mini loaf of banana bread to send with the plate . I did start the amish friendship bread starter but it will take 9 days before it is ready to share and didn't want to hold on to the traveling plate that long.
Question ?
Paulaayn-
Is Girl Guide like Girls scouts here in the united states?
Re: traveling plate
I think Girl Scouts are based on the British/Canadian Girl Guides

Re: traveling plate
Paula is correct. Girl Guides of Canada and Girl Scouts of the USA are sister organizations -- both are members of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts. Canada's Girl Guides began in 1910; Girl Scouts were founded by Juliette Low in 1912 in Savannah, GA.
It is inspring to read about the women who started these organizatons around the world. By 1912, ten countries already had Girl Guides (currently there are 144 member countries). Mostly, the cournties with Girl Guides have a direct link to England or other Girl Guide countries, whereas the history of the Girl Scout organizations mostly route throught the US (and then back to the original Girl Guides).
The Girl Guides had an interesting start: In 1909 there was a rally of 11,000 boys -- members of the new Boy Scout organization. To Lord Baden-Powell's surprise, lots of girls who had been doing Boy Scout activities, also arrived with the intention of participating in the rally. To deal with the long term consequences of this unexpected development, Lord Baden-Powell decided to create a program for girls and asked his sitster to be in charge of it. -Kay

This is the one I bought to use (found it on a different site though) - I just need to fill it & pass it on.
Re: traveling plate
I have never given or received a traveling plate, however, I'd seen one in a little shop before. It said on the rim of the plate something like "Enjoy the goodies. Pass it on!" Something like that. Then I think it had something similar to what lrk352 wrote on the surface area of the plate. Something to let you know the plate is to be passed around and enjoyed.
Re: traveling plate
I haven't heard of this, but a couple of Halloween's ago, we got "Booed!". This is when one of your friends/neighbors leaves a treat on your doorstep and posts this "Boo" note on your door. You leave the note on your door so everyone knows you have been "Booed". You do make 2 copies of it, and in turn go and "Boo" two more people. It is fun seeing how many houses have "Boo" papers hanging on their doors :-)
Re: traveling plate
We did the "Boo" thing a few years ago too. It was really fun. It got the neighborhood together. Plus, we got to enjoy the treats. It was fun puting them on the doorstep, ringing the bell and running before they saw you! Maybe I'll start that again this year....OR maybe I'll do the traveling plate. I have seen these plates before, but I've never been on the receiving end. Nice way to get to know the neighbors.
Re: "Booing"
I think up here in Michigan what you describe is called "Ghosting" - at least it sounds like the same thing!
Re: traveling plate
We did something like that in Girl Guides. Every week a girl was chosen to take the tin home and enjoy the treats. Next week she brought a new treat in the tin (and recipe I think) and another girl was chosen. Nearly always yummy.
Re: traveling plate
Mine had rice krispy treats, chocolate chip cookies and a cranberry nut bar .Yum! The plate had this wriiten on it...... This is a traveling neighborhood plate to say "We love you! We think you are great!" Enjoy these goodies we have made for you, then here is what you have to do.... Fill it with treats and pass it along, Share love with your neighbor- and don't wait too long! The neighbor that brought the plate to me mention who she got it from so the plate would get a new home. My neighbor told me that it doesn't have to be my next door neighbor - maybe to someone you don't know so that you get to know them and be just neighborly. I think it is a neat idea too! I am thinking of maybe giving a few slices of the amish bread with frozen starter and recipe , a couple cinnamon rolls and slices of banana bread.
Re: traveling plate
I sure wish one of these plates would come my way.....:)
Re: traveling plate
Oh, that sounds pretty neat! I've never heard of it, but would love to be on the receiving end, as well as making something to pass along! I'm always taking something to the neighbors, but they seldom reciprocate. :(
Re: traveling plate
This sounds superb and like a quaint, fun idea that the Amish would get a big kick out...I've not heard this specific term before...Linda, what kind of goodies were on this plate?
