I recently spoke to the Assistant Director of the Roxbury Food Bank and she told me about an organization called Lasagna Loves. I looked it up and you can volunteer for any frequency, once a week or once month etcetera. lasagnaloves.org
I signed up and had my first “match” this week. I contacted the woman and arranged to deliver a lasagna try to her today. I did that a short time ago.
Of course I wanted to include a cake with it so I made a chocolate pound cake and topped it with chocolate ganache. I made a small portion for us to taste test as dinner last night. It was delicous.
I purchased an extra large aluminum pasta tray, it took a box and half of lasagna noodles so it was a huge tray of lasagna.
I delivered it in Blairstown about 30 minutes away.
I met her on the street next to her apartment and carried up very narrow stairs.

It is so wonderful to volunteer and help others, this lady was very appreciative. I was glad to help out in this small way.
I am looking forward to the spring and summer, we had a few warmer days and I was able to run on those days. I wish I could get up and go run, but it is generally too cold for that but pretty soon my cool weather gear will let me run in the mornings.

The exercise, any exercise clears the mind and helps relieve the stress. Sometimes I work out a small problem I was dealing with or come up with a good idea to go forward.
I look forward each day to see what it will bring and sometimes it brings a little and sometimes it brings a lot.
I hope you enjoyed this short post.
