martha: I remember way back in 1980s when I was a teen working the "kitchen" at mcdonalds (if you can call a room full of teenagers responding to buzzers a kitchen). One of the managers kept asking me "what perfume is that?" I had gotten REALLY hot and sweaty which activated my pad's scent. Fortunately this was a female manager so I finally took her aside and said "it's the mini-pad.."

good grief! another enormous 2nd harvest offering. I skipped all the bread, cookies, crackers, pies (seriously...HUGE frozen cream pies and some costco-size fruit pies). Also skipped the "dairy box"...or rather gave it to someone else, because I'm dairy free. I came back with a 3 or 4 lb bag of organic rainbow mini carrots, another 1lb bag of "normal" carrots but odd sizes. 10lbs of russet potatoes, 6 or 7lbs of apples (fuji and pink lady! sweet like candy), 2 oranges (they were more yellow than orange but delicious) and a 3lb or so bag of yellow onions. The onions are on the small size but that works for a single lady. Not such a committment when I cut one open. Lunch was a couple of apples, 2 potatoes and a buffalo burger from a past harvest. Really good free lunch!
I might see if I can get a bit of ginger to ferment some of the carrots. I can't eat them before they go off. then again, they said there was an extra distribution next week. Jeez! I guess just eat what I can. No canned goods this time, fortunately. Oh yeah, 1 more box of maypo quick oats...no sweetener. I guess it's lots of fruit and veg for me this week.

two very fresh eggs from my LL's chickens. So good poached. I pick up things from the pig barrels at the food shelf for them, (the chickens) - got them some bean sprouts and chow mein noodles. Maybe they will lay Egg Foo Yung!

Got 2 shelves that my LL was throwing out - nothing wrong with them - installed them in the bathroom for extra storage. Old, small bathroom with clawfoot tub, so I don't have the normal tub surround with places to put things.
lol maggie! I remember when everything was scented thankfully not so much anymore. good scores on food! got my sample source pack.. some free coupons for frozen stuff and trial size sensitive toothpaste, poptart bar, nescafe flavoured instant coffee, fancy feast. mom gave me a bag of cat treats my sister gave her for her cat which he doesn't like so my cats do so saved money there.

A leaded glass door from an old entertainment center. I'm going to use it to build a jewelry armoire of some kind.
