Again, I went to the food giveaway that is not means tested. There were other people there who were not anywhere near needy but enjoy getting free food.
I received two pounds of beans and two pounds of rice. There were potatoes, sweet potatoes, and free apples, too. The five Granny Smith will go into the crock pot. I will bake all the sweet potatoes in one oven, dip the meat from the skins, and save some for when exbf comes, and maybe freeze a serving or two after I have enough for four meals for me.
A gallon of milk, five pounds of sugar, and eggs were offered, too. I turned down the bread as my freezer is full, and I can only eat so much and need even less.
It is a beautiful day that will lead to colder weather. The oven will be used when it is very cool in the house.
I have had one potato that was just barely starting to sprout. It then had green leaves which have fallen off. the potato is shrinking but still viable. The afternoon, I will have J help me plant it in a bucket. The bucket will go onto cap blocks. I have large flat stones I will put around the bucket. This will sit in front of the back wall, a rock wall, of the house. The bucket should grow a potato or two. I will cover it when it gets to freezing. Let's see how many potatoes one potato will grow.
J promised she would be here at noon. It is now almost 2 pm and she will be here when bf goes back to work after lunch....urge to kill.
your turn
What free food have you found lately? Have you ever grown potatoes this late?
this simple fare sounds like nice
ReplyDeleteUrspo,
DeleteIt is very delicious. I will not eat the rice but will give it away. I only eat brown rice if I cook it myself. I will eat it elsewhere. I hate the pinto beans and will give them to J along with the rice. I like beans, just not pinto and kidney beans. Blackeyed peas? I could eat a whole three cups at one sitting, but will not.
It sounds as if J is stretching the friendship at the moment. Stretching it as far as she thinks she can.
ReplyDeleteShe has always done this! She comes back like nothing happened or loaded with excuses. I am tired of excuses.
DeleteToday, she did not get here until after three pm and started to work. Twenty minutes after that, she wanted a smoke break. The nice guy who houses her and bf has told her when she works for him that you don't get a smoke break right after you come to work. She just does not get it.
Yesterday, I made her turn off her phone. She needs to see who is calling but does not talk if I am standing and watching her. So, she had to turn it off.
I am her only cheerleader and support whether she likes me or not.
I have a list of places that gives out free food..I want to go to each place and get as much as I can and give to people on my route..but can't get any of them lazy bitches at senior to go with me and help..sigh*..
ReplyDeletejackiesue,
DeleteRoute? What route? I would go. I cannot pick up anything or not much. However, I do have a trunk to my car!
I haven't really looked for free, but I'm keeping frugal and on a roll...investigating more recipes with beans.
