Daughter L baked these cheesecake brownies for her company bake sale the other day. She made enough so that we could have some too. They are so good, sigh.
Blogeratti mentioned on his blog about a town called Medicine Hat in Alberta, Canada that has eliminated homelessness. I thought this was amazing in terms of humanitarian good. I found this wonderful article that describes more about the intitiative. Medicine Hat is providing housing for those who need it. The mayor opposed it for awhile but realized the program saves the town money. Another 'motivation for Clugston's change of heart was a shift in his view of homelessness. Rather than viewing homeless people as too lazy to get a job, he began seeing homelessness as a symptom of both a disease -- mental illness -- and of the stigma faced by those suffering from it.'

Never heard of cheesecake brownies before, but they sound and look really good :-)
Those brownies are amazing! And so is what they're doing in Medicine Hat, Alberta. It makes me proud to be Canadian.
Oh wow. Those brownies look DELICIOUS. Moist and perfect!
Very cool on the Alberta Hat and the brownies.
We have a huge problem with the homeless in Hawaii. Everyone wants them to be helped but not in their neighborhood.
Oh those brownies look delicious! I love that Alberta Hat has taken such actions, homelessness is such a sad thing.
OMG, that's amazing. I'd like to know more about what kind of housing is provided.
