"make-a-wish" news and stories

Oh, Ina, we knew you'd do the right thing. After a week of getting hammered online for her apparent refusal to meet with a six-year-old leukemia patient, Barefoot Contessa Ina Garten has agreed to grant the boy's Make-A-Wish request.

Last week, TMZ reported that Garten denied Enzo Pereda's requests due to scheduling conflicts, but Garten said she only learned of his requests this past weeekend. (Her spokesman says she gets "100 requests a month to support charitable causes" and can't answer them all.)

If she really wants Enzo to forgive her, she should pull out all the stops and bake up her gooey brownie pudding cake.

If you haven't been to a Coldstone Creamery lately and don't mind their ice cream (personally, I am not fond of it), then this is the month to do it. Coldstone Creamery is supporting the Make-A-Wish Foundation by selling Make-A-Wish wall stars. They are also selling a special flavor of ice cream called "Make-A-Wish Creation" -- chocolate ice cream with yellow cake, chocolate chips and rainbow sprinkles -- inspired by Cole, a 10-year-old Wish child.

Coldstone will also be hosting the 5th Annual World's Largest Ice Cream Social on September 28 from 5-8 pm. Participating Cold Stone Creamery locations will offer free ice cream.
