What is in my Mixing Bowl today?

I enjoy keeping up with the bake 'n blog of "Cooks who Care" at cookswhocare.com.   These ladies are selfless, giving, and quite patriotic.  The founder, Susan called on her fellow cooking friends in cyberspace to make and send home-baked goodies to our troops overseas.  Once a month, at least 1,000 blogger/bakers like me make treats and ship them to deployed military persons.  It is called "Operation Baking GALS."  Blaine and I have really had some educational conversations during our Bake-offs while participating in this effort.  Topics have included the war against terrorism, our president, our military troops, giving of one's self for others (be it in war, or just in volunteering time and money to bake and send treats).  We have even received letters from our brave military recipients, who write us that in a combat environment, nothing comforts the heart like something home-baked from the States!  If this would interest anyone, please go to cookswhocare.com and sign up to send some goodies to a brave soldier!  National Cooks Who Care Week is November 8-14th, when many wonderful people will put their efforts into giving back to our country and the world.  Go check it out!
