I am very grateful for King Arthur's comments that we are all in this together. I want to suggest the need right now for so many who read and buy from KA's catalogue to get busy in meaningful ways as I have found too many people normally and many more now in each of our communities without breat to eat let alone all these delicious goodies listed here often. In fact, local food pantries have exhausted their free offerings to those in need and shelves empty very often now and have been so for most of this year. I bake lots of breads and other things and distribute them to all I know who need around our house. Imagine, if so many who bake organize and so so; not relying on canned foods and cash alone but to give special treats, too, from your heart to those most in need. In times of need and most of all in real and unusual times not seen like these for a very long time, why not, eh? Happy baking and thanks, King Arthur, for helping to back us up so those who really need can share this goodness through hands and hearts that can make it happen just by baking it all. Looks in faces of all who are surprised to receive is the best kind of response one can get. Dropping goodies off in hander bags and disappearing is the best way: The greatest good deed is the one you cannot be thanked for. Thank you so much, Mark. A wonderful message. King Arthur prepares and serves community dinners to the hungry in our area regularly, and we're seeing a real upswing in numbers of guests. A sad commentary, but when all of us pull together, we can make the world a better place. Readers, Mark is right - bake and share. Bake and give. When do you ever like to bake just for yourself anyway, right? Now's the time to cast your net a bit wider and find another audience for your treats. Thank you, everyone - PJH
