I'm throwing in the towel. I'm going to plant. My seed starts are getting desperate to be put into the ground. We can't get above 66 and its 40's at night. But my greenhouse is a jungle, so its time to clean it out, regardless of the overcast and rain for days.

I do that to my toothpaste tubes. I get a few more days from it, with twice a day brushing.

I used to buy 5 lbs of Gold Star brand of Jasmine Rice for $5 a bag. All the time in '22 and '23. Today I looked at it at the very same store and it was $10.99. I'm very glad I have alot of it put away. Its my fav rice.

Even out here, we are not to plant outside yet. They say to wait until after Mother's day and when the soil warms up a bit. Otherwise the veggies get stunted by the cold. I'm going for next weekend to get some things planted. Unlike all your rain, we've had to start up all the irrigation. :(

The out of date stuff is donated. I've seen 2009 cans come thru. Lots of 2012, 13, 14, and 15th. The grains and box mixes are usually infested, so when I bring them home, they do not come in the house. Straight to the compost bins. MY 3 cats get 2012 - 2018 cans of sardines, tuna, mackerel. My...

I'm sad for you, Porch. Its just no fair. At all.

So don't throw out that food. Our director is worried about lawsuits if someone eats one of our things and gets sick. But in 1987 there was a law passed in WA state to disallow any lawsuits against non profit food banks and pantries if a person claims to have gotten sick from their food. There...

But the thing is, @Hinotori, the FDA doesn't not require code dates on anything BUT infant formula. Code dates were first "best if used by" dates. To help the grocers to rotate their stock. Then manuf caught on - and said if we put expiration dates on our stuff, then it will help sell more! So...

I was talking with the director of the food pantry where I volunteer. Yes, there are concerns about the shortfall in the federal funding for food banks ($500 million cut) and the USDA commodity items. What is unknown is: 1. what are the inventory levels in the Commodity warehouses. 2. how many...

We periodically had a mocking bird in San Jose way back when. I LOVED IT, except when it was in the wee hours of the night/morning and it wouldn't shut up.

smart smart smart!!

It was a very very quick MOHs. About 40 min. I had brought some office work, and barely made a dent in it when Hubs came out. MOHs surgeon said to cancel the plastic surgery, cus this will heal on its own, from the inside out. Thanks for the prayers and well wishes!!

There is talk of downward pressure on pork prices. Since we're not shipping as much to China all of a sudden. If so, I'll quickly use alot of what I've got frozen, and then restock. Don't know about beef prices tho, if they will be lowering.

chunky monkeys!!! soooo darling.

Me too, Bay. Have been for years, plus they supposedly help with my depression. So I take them every single day of the year.

I have some Tattlers and never had a seal fail. And I hoard my home canned food! I'm just now getting into early 2022 product.

soft hugs from me to you.

It got up to 86 yesterday. I worked the afternoon shift at the food bank and it was WARM! Today and thru the weekend, we'll be cooling off by 15 - 20 degrees. Today hubs goes in for his MOHs surgery on the spot right next to his tear duct. Then a plastic surgeon later in the afternoon, to see...
