I think this may have been the first in a very long time there were not strawberries in our boxes of free chicken scraps. This time around it was mostly water melon, cantaloup and apples. Plus a few grapes. Kind of a snooze fest of you ask me.
In the summer Mr. Produce Guy was giving us 4 to 5 boxes a week full of all sorts of produce. But the last few weeks there have been only 3 boxes. I’m guessing it’s a seasonal thing. I suppose the chances of getting boxes of sweet potatoes and cranberries for Thanksgiving are pretty slim. But we’ll see.
A lot of the watermelon didn’t look so great, so we decided to give it to the chickens instead. The papaya could have been salvaged, but Black Fatty loves them to so we decided to toss it her was as well.
Here is what we decided to keep-
- Grapes {for lunch snacks}
- Melon {for breakfast}
- Lettuce {for taco night}
- 1 pear {snack}
- Giant owl of apples {for homemade applesauce}
Free food? I’ll take it, any day of the week! But my fingers are totally crossed for free cranberries and yams next time. Ha!
Peace Out Girl Scouts, have a great day. Now go forth and find some scraps!
