How to sublimate *and* do a good deed...



Recommended Posts

Feel like baking things you know you can't have (or can't eat) but worried about fattening up your friends and family with your goodies? Donate them to your local homeless shelter...they'll love you for it.

A couple of years ago I had this wild idea to bake a number of loaves of challah and take it down to the homeless shelter. It felt so good that a week later I took down some homemade dinner rolls. After finding out how warmly these homebaked goodies were to the shelter's clients, it became somewhat of a tradition to do this through the winter months with no danger of fattening these people up. Some are painfully thin.

Today I baked 6 gingerbread cakes (in bundt pans) and my son and I will take them down in the morning. It's a double blessing. I get the joy of baking (my house smells marvelous!) and the joy of giving...and all without the temptation sitting on the counter for a week. :lol:

Take them with you and let them carry it in. I guarantee they'll be begging to do it again the next week.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
