This past week has been crazy and busy, but I'm so happy with how the cookbook came out. After weeks of hassling people to contribute recipes and memories, we fortunately received 20 recipes to include in the cookbook. Luckily for us, it was so much fun to put the cookbook together and read through all the special thoughts and memories people associated with food and their respective recipes. Even though many folks did not provide photos along with their recipe, we found it relatively easy to find free photos online to include in our cookbook. My only wish for this project is that more folks, especially within our LCS Program cohort, could have contributed recipes. Given our time and financial constraints, however, I am delighted with our final product.
This class has been such a blessing to participate in and be a part of. I have learned so much about healthy aging, aging in place and various resources for older folks to utilize within San Diego. The conversations, laughs and smiles I have shared with many older people through our class outings and events are things that I will cherish for years to come. This class has been one of the highlights of my last year here at UCSD, and I would not trade it for anything in the world. I leave this class with a greater interest in and passion for helping, talking to and understanding older people and ultimately working to improve the quality of life for the older population.
