(For Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, too!)
Candied citron, Easter candy, and groceries for foodbank
Wednesday: out from the cupboard goes a tub of candied citron (those little technicolor chunks that you find in fruitcake). I'm never going to use them. No one wants to eat them. Everyone in my family goes, "Huh? Those are food?" when they see them. All right, all right - I was thinking I would bake them into a festive biscotti - I have a recipe! - but I get the message. . . citron down the disposal, container into recycling, and a vow to make brownie biscotti instead. LOL!
Thursday: goodbye, leftover Easter candy. Yes, we have uneaten candy in our house! I imagine by now all the chocolates are grey and molten inside their shiny pastel wrappers. So long, little chocolate eggs and packets of jelly beans! This year, be glad that there's no compulsion to eat stale candy. Next year - buy less!
Friday: just saw a forwarded email from the local foodbank - they can't keep their shelves stocked with pantry basics, there are so many hungry families coming in to receive donations. Well, we have plenty, and then some, and there's more where that came from. Because we're blessed - our surfeit goes there today.
