Thanks, King Arthur Flour, for the "Bake for Good" campaign! Sharing and supporting each other with kind words and a delicious treat - nothing better! Research is showing that generosity is hardwired in our brains, and that sharing is good for our health and makes us happier. A "win-win", right? I know that baking is good for my soul - thinking about what I want to bake, getting the ingredients together and measured out, working with my hands - it's a meditative process. Then I turn on the oven and open my kitchen window, and I bake. Tuesday mornings are my day to share at work - in the staff room, I leave a tray of something yummy (along with a big piece of paper and pens for comments - I've gotten some great suggestions!), and my co-workers can spend a few minutes chatting with each other and enjoying a treat with their morning coffee or tea. What a privilege to be able to share what I love doing with my family and community!
