We will attend our friend's memorial service this afternoon. It is just an open house as they will have a family service on the ranch, he grew up on later this spring.
Now trying to get Hub's into church clothes will be the real issue. He always has to look like he is just stepping out into the woods.
My friend down the street just called me and said she had worked at the county food bank this morning and they insisted she take home boxes of food, as it had not been picked up and would be destroyed. So, I ran down there with curlers in my hair, and ask Slug I am a beauty with curlers in my hair, Hubs was like? You are going down there in curlers? Why yes. My public needs me.
Anyway, here is the haul: Judge away, better than a land fill: A cabbage, head of cauliflower, carrots, huge bag of apples, tangerines, oranges, iceberg lettuce, tomatoes (need to be sauced as they were frozen at some point), a huge frozen pork roast, butter, cheese, a box of clif bars (12). Clif bars will go to kids and missionaries. Also 6 ears of fresh corn on the cob? I was going to buy cabbage. Which by the way when I was in Albertson's yesterday getting a prescription filled, I checked the price of cabbage and they wanted $1.99 a lb. Which would make a large head of cabbage over $10.00. Now that is scary.
I was able to get the whole house cleaned yesterday, it was so nice. I am freezing two containers of chili we are sick of it. I have to learn to cook for two. An age-old problem for many a mother.
Boy, I hate to go to this memorial, it is so hard to lose a friend at this age. But I need to support his wife and kids. This man was so funny, talented and full of life. Rest in peace Todd, may you be laughing with loved ones on the other side, and I can't wait to meet again.
Then home to do a little sewing, I hope. We have Schmills and Kelsa Saturday night into Sunday and then the missionaries for dinner.
I plan on making my Valentine shortbread (4 pans at least) and sour cream cut out cookies for Schmills and I to frost. Then I can take these down to Twin Falls with me when we go to see daughter's next week.
DO any of you have any big plans for the weekend? Are any of you doing any baking for Valentine's Day? If so, what?
Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are int the negative.
Kim
Great haul from the food bank!
ReplyDeleteI have zero plans for the weekend and am not baking unless I make a keto cheesecake (Which really means a crustless thing that is baked in a pie pan that is almost like cheesecake. The whole keto baking philosophy is that every keto dessert is "almost" like what it is supposed to be an imitation of.
I lived on a low carb diet all my dancing years. I have to say I hate it. BUt it did keep the weight off. Still hate it.
DeleteWhat a great haul. Glad your neighbor shared - our country wastes so much food.
ReplyDeleteMy big plans - rest! Shoveling has gotten the best of me!
I bet it has my friend. Shoveling is very hard work. Get out the old heating pad and rest away.
DeleteVery nice haul. That reminded me of my kid bringing home all the bags if veg this summer and finding homes for them. A cabbage in each bag. I hope your friends family feels the comfort from you all
ReplyDeleteIt was a lovely service, very tender and hard but lovely.
DeleteYou know cabbage was peasant and pig food and now is outrageous. It really does concern me.
I have no plans to bake anything for Valentine's Day. But, I might. Every cabbage I have gotten is thick and tough! That was a good haul. I went to a food pickup today and got little. But, last week we got six packages of meat.
ReplyDeleteThat is good as meat is so exspensive now.
DeleteI can't believe how expensive cabbage has become!
ReplyDeleteIt really throws me. I mean cabbage the lot of every peasant....?
DeleteHow wonderful to avoid food waste & get so many delicious things. My weekend involves teen sports, laundry, & hopefully some organization.
ReplyDeleteOh, the days when I was busy with kids and performances. Enjoy as hectic as it is because these years will be over before you know it!
DeleteNo big plans this weekend other than laundry, a little housework and grocery shopping tomorrow. Don't be jealous of my fabulous fun lifestyle.
ReplyDeleteWell, I am because it sound much calmer than mine.
Deletedefinitely growing more cabbage this year including some to harvest in Dec through Feb.
ReplyDeleteNot doing a blasted thing this weekend beyond pulling what needs started in grow cart on Monday.
Good for you. You need to rest a little with what your poor body has been through lately.
DeleteThe cabbage comment stopped me in my tracks. DANG!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe are just emerging from some of the winter storm that rolled from Texas to New England. Sitting inside appreciating the sun on the snow.
Hope/plan to bake sourdough cutout heart cookies with red sprinkles for Valentine's Day!
Oh,fun I was hoping someone else was doing some Valentine's baking. My mom always did, and I loved it as a child. I know cabbage the diet of every peasant society. Potatoes are up to 4 dollars a 10 lb bag here. We usually don't even have to pay for potatoes, we go pick them from the field corners and get 100 lbs in the fall. They are never over $1 a bag. Scary.
DeleteI have been away down to my Mum's again Kim & am just catching up on your posts. So very sorry to read of your friends passing & I hope the memorial service was a good remembrance of his life. Take Care Kim.
