I really like bread. A lot. And today, I found an international store (whose name, it so happens, is International). They had organic whole wheat flour...and it's cheaper than at Wal-Mart in the States. I was happily shocked, as my mind raced forward to the glorious times of bread-baking that I hope become part of my life in Hong Kong.
Now, I just need an oven.
Earlier this week, I walked by another grocery store, and saw a staff member throwing out expired food...including a grocery bag full of perfectly good bread. Again, I really like bread. So much, in fact, that whenever I'm walking home from the metro, I often walk into that particular store, just to look for sales on their bread. (A bit obsessive, possibly, but hey--they have really good bread!)
That trash bag of bread in the dumpster bothered me. And I started thinking of the homeless in Hong Kong. Shouldn't they have--if nothing else--at least this bread?
On Wednesday, a friend told me about Giving Bread. Giving Bread is an organization that is, currently, giving bread. I appreciate their work (not to mention their pithily titled mission), and I look forward to volunteering with them.
