Guess I see it as generosity and compassion can come from all humanity.

Most food banks have a collection arrangement with groceries for things past their prime but still safe to consume. Certain items, like meat, must be frozen for food safety reasons. The grocery gets a donation deduction, so it’s a win for them too.

Could you not add a sentence or two discussing what CO is doing?

Come on. This is ridiculous clickbait you were too lazy to even do a faux update on.

Totally agree. Disappointed in Tegna.

The best summer produce is the drippiest. Tomatoes! Peaches! Corn on the cob with melted butter! Watermelon!

Friends, my therapy is partially funded by this program. If you can pitch $5, it would be amazing. A share would be as amazing 🖤 thank you!

Nope. I am not doing “interesting” on that timeline. Please adjust.

Got it. It just took a few minutes. All completed.

Awaiting my confirmation email, but super glad you’re to have you back.

All of the above, same day.

Somewhat more eloquent than what I was sending in emails and shouting into my senators’ voicemail. The msg was the same.

Broiler chickens are younger when they go to market and less susceptible to disease. Laying hens are kept longer, and like humans have lest robust immune systems over time. Wing prices are largely a function of current demand per my butcher.

Food banks get donations from mfg overruns they only have to pay freight on. That is often where cash donations are effective. But, a semi full of cereal is not necessarily workable for a small food pantry. (Some smaller sites have coop arrangements with food banks if they are near major cities.)

But they will gladly accept anything, especially smaller neighborhood food pantries.

You can the flesh. Pop it out of the skins, mash it and package as airtight as possible before freezing. Not quite as good as a good fresh avocado, but very serviceable after seasoning. I worked in a restaurant long ago where we got very good frozen guac for burgers.

Deciding what’s next under the needle while I stitch up something from my stash. As always, more ideas than time.

Good to see you here!

As promised… here to stalk/follow you. 🙃

Glad to find you here! You’re my main weather peep.

Life can only be a zero sum game for some people. Evidence says it’s not most of the time, but if that’s your viewpoint….

These prices are low by 40%-50%, and I don’t even live in a large city.
