4:42 pm
hurshy

4:43 pm
Shirlockc

72 Temple Owl
this year dinner does not begin until 3:30. usually i drive up and back same day.
7:39 pm
72 Temple Owl
i made a cake but screwed it up. the thing about cakes is you cannot tell if your efforts to save them works until it's cut.
7:40 pm
Trifioso
we are just four at table tomorrow. whilst I appreciate the reduction in workload, I do miss those crowded tables of days gone by. That I absolutely do.
7:40 pm
Trifioso
I am sure cake will be well received! or, and maybe even better yet, a funny story for thanksgivings to come
7:41 pm

the workers at the largest Canadian sugar plant are on strike, so no baking for us :(
7:41 pm
72 Temple Owl
there are usually at least 20
7:41 pm
Trifioso
oh that does stink, nan
7:41 pm
72 Temple Owl
well, with some gatherings that is true. but not family, mostly brother's inlaws
7:42 pm
Trifioso
so many strikes lately! management has got to cop on, the people are fed up with corporate greed
7:42 pm
72 Temple Owl
what? you have no sugar? i generally stock up on baking basics come fall. got to get it while you can
7:43 pm
cybernan
all the store shelves are bare
7:43 pm
72 Temple Owl
that is true, trif. but everyone is hurting. our food pantry is holding on by a thread. and you do not need to do anything but show you live in the county
7:44 pm
72 Temple Owl
some people are stealing. and others are going to multiple pantries and selling the food at flea markets.
7:44 pm
72 Temple Owl
it is difficult to watch.
7:48 pm
Trifioso
oh that is disturbing to hear
7:48 pm
Trifioso
but what on earth is going on that people have reached that level????
7:49 pm
72 Temple Owl
we share food with other places and i am involved with two pantries. this is confirmed, not hearsay
7:50 pm
72 Temple Owl
we are one of the dew pantries that let you shop once a week.
7:50 pm
Trifioso
I believe you. LLBean has stopped its policy of accepting returns no matter what, as people were buying their products in thrift stores and then demanding new
7:50 pm
Trifioso
our town pantry is one a week as well
7:50 pm
72 Temple Owl
one of our clients dropeed off a load of items they got from other pantries. that is really upsetting.
7:51 pm
72 Temple Owl
i had no idea. i loved that policy, though never used it.
7:52 pm
72 Temple Owl
most pantries are every other week. and we have had no meat for two weeks. except turkeys this week
7:52 pm
Trifioso
I am not sure how I feel about it - if they say they will replace it, they should.
7:52 pm
72 Temple Owl
you can choose tuns or spam or canned chicken breast that is all
7:52 pm
Trifioso
I do not believe our pantry does any refrigerated goods at all, just dry goods
7:53 pm
72 Temple Owl
we were LOADED with produce and salad stuff this week. we had to cream three days into two.
7:53 pm
