"It's better to light one small candle than to curse the darkness."
---Confucius
Today I began a community service project that will last for several days, though not consecutively. It won't change the world, but maybe it will put a few smiles on people's faces at breakfast time.
I committed to bringing enough breakfast breads/muffins to serve 36 people at either of two homeless shelters in Montgomery County for 5 days during Thanksgiving. That's about 180 servings! Oy vay, what was I thinking?
I guess I was thinking that I love to bake, but truthfully, there's so much cooking at Thanksgiving already, with my sister and her family and my mom coming to town, and a good friend and her kids coming for the meal on Thursday, that I probably wasn't wise to take on more baking responsibilities. So if you by any chance like baking and want to drop something by my house....hint, hint...
Anyway, tonight I baked two pumpkin loaves but even those will feed only about 24. Better get back to more baking (perhaps buying?) tomorrow....I guess we all bite off more than we can chew sometimes. Such are the times we are living in. Just have to figure out a way to get it all done when we do that. In this case it may be delegating....stay tuned!
