Bulletin: (Cheapest Food Request Yet Tomorrow, $3.90)- 347 Pounds Of Food To The Pandry Just This Afternoon. Also, The Nuclear Cat Does Sleep After All. He Dozed Off Right Next To Me

by Jon Katz

Bulletin: The Army Of Good sent 347 pounds of sound to the Cambridge Food Pantry today, and Sarah has chosen the cheapest food yet to donate from the Amazon Wish List or any other source: Mac’ n Cheese dinners, the children’s favorite and most frequent request.

I can’t resist the price.

If you send food from sources other than Amazon, the address is Sarah Harrington, 24 East Main Street, Cambridge, N.Y., 12816. Amazon will send the food to the correct address, but it hides the addresses on the site and shows the name.

Zip is a constant-action cat. He goes everywhere, misses nothing, inspects everything, and chases many things. I rarely saw him sleep, but I sat next to him on the porch today, taking flower photos, and he kept me company, as usual.

He closed his eyes and rested his head on my arm. My camera was in my hands at the time, and it was bliss to get the portrait. I look forward to seeing you in the morning.

Sara, the excellent Executive Director of the Cambridge Food Pantry, messaged me just as I posted this photo of Zip, one of my favorites. She said the Army of Good had sent 347 pounds of food in a second delivery from Amazon today (another came earlier).

Thanks a million. I told Sara we would keep seeking to do our best for as long as possible, and we are just getting started. I keep saying it: Thanks to everyone. Have a happy Easter; I’ll be blogging all through the weekend.

Sarah’s Choice For Saturday: It’s the kid’s dream request. For those who want to help the pantry but are going away for the weekend, here’s a heads-up: Sarah’s Choice for Saturday is Kraft’s Original Macaroni and Cheese Dinner, 7.50 ounces,  four pack, $3.90.
