Sorry to say, but this site has been so depressing for a few days. I thought I'd ask an average, everyday question....to make us all feel a little more normal today.
I made Eggplant Lasagna, and my BIL and SIL are coming for dinner. They leave for Cali tomorrow to see their beautiful grand daughter.
Sorry, sometimes we just need some REGULAR conversation.......or at least THIS caregiver does.
Coconut coffee.
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!
The shrimp dish sounds great. Glad to have you back!💞
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.
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! :)
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!
Market Basket ~ knew those stores well.

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'. 🤣
Three pies... I hope your sons appreciate you!!
