Grilled steaks and corn on the cob, sliced tomatoes. Lemon pound cake. Sent it home with my bachelor son. He doesn’t cook and will take all leftovers.

Thanks Llama,

It’s good to be back. The pantries are so needed. Whenever I think of all the food that is wasted it makes me sick. Once I was in the grocery and I ordered one pound of beef, there was a small amount left and the butcher said that he was going to give me the extra because the store was about to close.

I thanked him but asked him if they donated surplus to our local food pantry. He said that it wasn’t allowed to do that. The stores can only donate non perishable items.

There is a church near me that has a community garden and they give fresh produce to the food bank so I wonder why meat can’t be donated.

Bridger,

Your church sounds wonderful!

NeedHelpWithMom; Several people in the community have donated to the much needed and appreciated food bank. Catholic Charities had had a long standing program at Fort George G. Meade, MD. They offer housing, food, clothing and a method for people who are in need a way to get back on their feet.
The shrimp dish sounds great. Glad to have you back!💞

My church has a food bank. Church members donate food and money. We distribute one morning a week. Money collected is used to purchase milk, eggs, orange juice, apples, etc. These items are given out along with donated food. Thirty families a week receive assistance. Thanksgiving and Christmas we provide items for holiday dinners. 4th of July we provide cookout supplies.

So sad, Llama. More people need to donate like you did. Our food pantry serves lots of people here.

Many churches have ministries to feed people too. Catholic Charities has a specific program for food for seniors. Some of the Lutheran and Baptist Churches has pantries on a regular basis as well.

Donated six different times to the food pantry here in Maryland. Sadly, many people are having to use it for the first time ever and they cry.

Made a half gallon of spicy Italian sauce. I then put in canning jars and pressure canned. It’s good for pizza and pasta. My DIL brought homemade pizza crusts and we put together 3 pizzas for supper along with a salad. Homemade macadamia/chocolate chip cookies and coffee for dessert.

Actually, I was planning on looking at some of our coffee houses here locally and then if I can't find it, I'll try your suggestion. Thanks! :)

I love breakfast for dinner, I think any variation on that is my favourite thing.

It's been cool and wet here today so I pulled some potato soup and some pumpkin out of the freezer and combined the two with garlic and a little cayenne to balance out the sweetness of the pumpkin - not bad. Except now I really want dessert.

Sounds like this is an East Coast "specialty" since both you and "earlybird" have it. I'm not aware of such a thing here in the desert southwest! I love blueberries but, I can't imagine Blueberry coffee. Who knows I might like it with cream!

Tomato soup recipe I used beef broth, no cream and it is good. But, couldn't find fresh basil here.

CWillie,
Turn on your oven to about 120 degrees for 10 minutes.
Go stick your head inside and feel the blast of heat, and you won't have to imagine why no one is grilling outside anymore! Lol.

Said lovingly, without the least bit of hostility, it was a joke friends.
I don't care if CWillie is the only one that will 'get it'. 🤣

That's nice that your family came by for dinner and that they're going to see their grand-daughter. This site is a kind of support group for people who are caregivers. People come here for help and support and sometimes just to vent about their situation because no one that hasn't had to be a caregiver to an old person knows how it is. That's why when we tell it here in this community, everyone understands because they all know. Everyone here tries to help and support each other because we all know how it is because we've either lived it or are currently living it. And yes, it is depressing and exhausting and maddening, and frustrating, and sad. It is what it is.

Bridger it's hard for me to imagine a place where it gets too hot to grill outside🤣
Three pies... I hope your sons appreciate you!!

Too hot to grill outside. Staying inside with the AC up. Have a turkey breast with stuffing in the oven, mashed potatoes and gravy, fresh green beans. I made 3 pies and baked bread. I took a loaf of bread to my parents in assisted living. Dad likes homemade bread with jelly for a snack. Plus turkey is my husband and sons favorite. Both sons are here today

OK I've been googling recipes for roasted tomato soup, do you add cream gladimhere? The canned stuff was always a pantry staple for my mom (and sister could live on the stuff) but it has never been my favourite, some of the recipes I'm finding do sound pretty good though.
