Good deed - I toot another's horn.

One of the nicest things anyone did was to consistently bake for the priest, since he had lost a lot of weight from his recent sickness, and he wasn't getting as much calories as he should.

When one of the people in class found this out, this 30y.o. Latin teacher (the one who transferred to prep school out of the Washington D.C. public schools, and who loves to bake to relax) found out his favorite baked foods and started making things with cherries (crisps, breads, etc.) and oatmeal (e.g. oatmeal cookies), and always made sure to use whole milk and cream and sugar, since he just needed more calories...

(His doctor came in one day to see class, and I think she asked her about this in the hallway when the priest was busy.)

Anyhow, he ate all that stuff everyday, and it wasn't clear if he was putting on weight, but it was something!
