Today I had to do something that I was hoping I wouldn't have to do again - visit a food pantry. Rent is due Monday. Cam needed the supplies to construct his science fair poster board. I had to put gas in the car. There just wasn't any way to fit much grocery money into the equation. I had to set aside my pride and ask for help.
I am so grateful to have this resource available for Cam and I. Not only was it needed, but it puts a face on what we do when we volunteer at the food bank. I will admit that I was a little surprised by a few items that I found in the bags. The United Airlines "Active" snack boxes, Star Trek and Austin Powers trading cards, and dark chocolate/espresso cookie sticks were a little unexpected, but do tell - what does one do with Caramel Color Glazed Pork Pate de Campagne and Linseed Bread?
I'll let you know what I figure out!

Nothing wrong with needing some help. I'm glad it's there for you when you need it. And since you've been volunteering there, you give as well as receive, a nice balance.
And just remember - "I think you're shagedelic baby! You're switched on! You're smashing! You're shagadelic, baby!"
Gotta love that Austin Powers.
Linseed bread?
