[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]YES!! What is that about!? Who CARES?! I was wondering if they were pot cookies or something? If not, why on earth would you get involved? [/quote]

1) Side business = extra work just like babysitting for your neighbor for extra money. Not legal.
2) Background: reference to a prior AP who used her host family's kitchen and materials to make this extra money. Also time. Don't claim you're making food for the family as a part of cultural exchange and use it as work time when you're actually trying to make extra cash.
3) Liability: There's a reason people can't just operate food businesses from home. The state regulates what kind of kitchen you need (home does not qualify as a "professional" kitchen) and training for food safety. Someone who gets sick and $$$ in their eyes is going to try to sue the host family, not the AP. May not stick, but a huge hassle anyway.

So, if you don't care about these things, welcome your AP to do them. Other HFs would be horrified to know that's what AP has been up to with all her cookie baking "for friends"[/quote]
