Apparently, March is BAKE & TAKE month! Back in 1972, a Kansas wheat promotion organization began encouraging people to share baked goods with those in need in their local communities.Who's in need in your world? Ill, lonely, overwhelmed, elderly, financially strapped, or in crisis?
What's your specialty from the kitchen? (And, by the way, I know lots of men that make a mean pie, out-of-this-world chicken, and yeast bread that you'd never, ever forget!)
One of the most thoughtful gifts I ever received was from an elderly woman who brought me some homemade soup. The delicious simplicity of the gift - and the kindness of the giver - made a lasting impression on me. In this fast-food world, a home-created gift of food is always a true treasure.

Received: The simplicity and love shown in a (scribbled)picture from a child who made it for me without prompting a parent.
