Hi everyone! Here are a few thrifty things that I did this week:
1. We helped at a food pantry distribution. After the distribution was over, everyone could take some of what was left. We brought home a box of produce, meat, dairy, and some packaged foods like breakfast cereal. 2. I dried two bags of apples from the food distribution, plus quite a few tomatoes from my garden and some other miscellaneous produce I had lying around, like some bananas that were starting to turn brown. I'm definitely getting my money's worth out of that thrift store dehydrator. 3. I made pesto with basil from the garden. 4. Tomorrow will be the first of many frosts, so I brought in all of the tomatoes, butternut squash, watermelon, beans, cucumbers, and anything else out there that I thought might freeze. I picked five ripe bell peppers, but there are still many smaller peppers that I think will grow big enough to pick if I cover them a few more nights. 5. After a long break, I've resumed the Fascinating Womanhood study that I bought a month or two ago. 6. I finished reading Where There Is No Doctor, as well as the book I told you about last week: Merchant of Sonoma. I made copies from WTIND; some medical charts and reference pages to use in our family health notebook. I began listening to The Conservative Heart by Arthur Brooks. So far it is very good, and appropriate, as it was written before the 2016 presidential debates. Oh, the debate. I hope the next ones aren't as painful to watch. 7. I made yeast rolls for a meal we had this week. Compared to sourdough, making regular bread is a breeze, and it tastes amazing! I think that's about all for this week! At least all I can remember. Til next time, ~Prudence~
