There is news to share this morning on the upcoming cooking for the wounded project at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center. I am pleased to announce that this event will now be held at the USO facility there, on Sunday 20 September. The USO is even distributing some flyers about it. In addition, there are some conversations underway with the Red Cross, and those are looking interesting indeed. Even better, this effort will not be a one-off. A week or so ago, the Lafayette Journal & Courier ran an article about this effort (a short version is here), and that resulted in my getting an e-mail from Katy Gunderson, owner of The Yellow Bowl Bakery in Lafayette. It seems that she and her cohort in crime, Molly (a CIA-trained pastry chef), were very interested in the trip. In point of fact, they are interested in not only doing another trip to Landstuhl, but in doing some things here in the U.S. for the wounded. They also believe that we can get a few others to pitch in on such efforts. We are now plotting and planning, so stay tuned for updates. If you are in the Lafayette area, I can vouch for these two wonderful chefs, so give their business a try. Things are going, and if you haven't already donated, please do so at Soldiers' Angels noting that it is for "Cooking with Laughing Wolf." I actually have found my chef's coat and it still fits, so it is out for getting Laughing Wolf upon it and cleaning. Now to make sure TSA doesn't freak over the knife bag I will have with me... LW who also notes that Soldiers' Angels is now CFC #25131 in the Combined Federal Campaign...
