Once they are established they are so easy and entertaining. And the eggs! Right now we have so many so tomorrow I am planning on making homemade noodles for the first time. As I am planning on being home all day I am also going to cook up some dried beans and freeze them. We'll see how it goes.MamaHenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12933602709751520328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3667923606438454545.post-71356916515235807582012-03-05T07:27:23.903-06:002012-03-05T07:27:23.903-06:00Mrs. B,

When we go to church there we get armloads! Good thinking!<br /><br />Mama in Uganda,<br />I thought you might leave a comment on this one. Every time my kids scrape uneaten meat off of their dinner plates I think of your family who rarely eats meat. I don't feel guilty, per se, but it is a good way to keep our portion sizes moderate to avoid waste.<br /><br />BethanyBethany W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05849311381535204559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3667923606438454545.post-48563630486157788172012-03-04T10:55:02.437-06:002012-03-04T10:55:02.437-06:00Its very true about most Americans.

These things are brought to church and distributed to widows, single parents, unemployed, underemployed, others with needs, and everyone else (in roughly that order). Even the 'oldy moldys' can be great to feed to chickens etc. This has been a great way for the stores to deal with waste, and us to minister to our people. -Mrs. BAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3667923606438454545.post-37615758650123819982012-03-04T00:23:58.272-06:002012-03-04T00:23:58.272-06:00One thing our church has done is arranged with a c...One thing our church has done is arranged with a couple of local food stores to gather their 'discards' - items at their expiration, less-than-perfect produce, etc (including what is refered to endearingly as 'oldy moldys'!)
