Reminded the kids that Thanxgiving was alot of pumpie produce and sale items. WE ARE IN A DEPRESSION.
And that Xmas was not supposed to be gimme gimme days. small and quaint is what want. Saved about 4 ppunds of produce leftovers and coffee grounds for the compost bin. Stirred it in on Friday before the snow. Also picked up a few gallons of saved snow melt for the yard and indoor plants. snow water warmed to room temp is jusat as good as the tap if not better.

the day before Thanksgiving

bfast- grits, freebie donuts and fudge from Babylon, coffee

....or as I like to call it, Bountiful Harvest day.
The original price $30 turkey was harvested from a clearance rack at the grocers last July (for $7) and stored in the deep freeze. The veggies were brought home from the Sprouts a few weeks ago ($15) and stored in the indoor/outdoor root cellar. The onions, beets, and other disposable veggies were scavenged from the excess bins (FREE) at the back door of Safieway. The herbs for the meal are being grown organically at the 'stead and are doing just fine.

Yes we did have to make a run to the front door market last night for a few essentials. 5 dozen eggs, day old bread for stuffing, assorted dairy products, etc. But the cost for it all came to less than 70 bucks. And that is with some essential stuff for the animals (parrot seed, dog food, hot cheetos).
I will be off from Babylon the next cuppla days so will prob post more..

100th post

bfast- PB and C sandies, coffee, fruit
lunch-- PB burrito-beer
dinner-- Jambalayah, veggies, dumpie found cuke salad, water, fried apples and cinnamon

Who would have guessed I could make it to 100 posts. Worked around the stead yesterday turnig the compost bin, adding leaves to the mix and some coffee grounds and greens. Gave Rosie and her herbal friends a chance to get some sun during the day. Mid 60s and sunny.

One of the dumpie mobiles tire apparently the stem broke loose so had to realign and fix. Holding air now. Dumpie Bike needed some adjustments to the kick stand and the derailleur so handled that. General dumpie maintenance. Always a good time for a beer (or 2).

Also took the turkey out of the deep freeze to get it started on return to life for Thursday eats. Only 3 days in Babylon this week and then a 4 day weekend.. AMEN.

what a week

bfast-freebie yogurt, bagels, danish, coffee and juice
lunch- freebie roast beef and cheese, rosemary potato salad, arugula salad, juice and water
dinner-- McDonnies dollar menu (wife not feeling well)

spent the week dealing with Laurel and Hardy in Babylon. Trying to stay ahead of them and the comic relief. Not much time left for the blog and the life. This has gotta change. I need to spend more time on Prepping and reliance.

Yesterday was a relief. Took an annual leave day from Babylon to go to a techie seminar. Very refreshing. Brought home some schwag and enjoyed the free grubbings I mentioned in the lead. It was a great way to start the weekend.. Hopefully I will begin having more time to continue my work.

books books and more books

bfast- toast with butter and brie, coffee
lunch- leftover salad- bread- water bottle
dinner- roast chicken, mashed taters, veggies gravy and water bottle

picked up some new books at the bookie trash .. He is so darn dum for throwing away literature. Went over to Wallie- thru the front door for some goodies. came home and took it easy. allergies acting up so not feeling the greatest. Anyhow the sune is good for the Rosie and her herb friends. Gotta see if we can find some more

one family, one trashcan for the week

bfast-- oatmeal, fruit, coffee
lunch-- free from babylon roast beef sandie, chips, apple, cookies, 2 water bottles and salad.. enough salad leftovers to take home for bird treat and dinner accompaniement
dinner-tuna sandies, salad, bbq chips and water

I was really happy on Friday morning as I only had 1 30 gallon trashcan to put out this week. It says something about the clan and this 'stead becoming more conscious. The old dumpie mobile I statred before the cold front but didnt drive it. Last night I needed to hit up the front door store but I walked over and back. "live what you preach". And I try.

Rosie and the herbs seem to have made it ok and the scent in the dining room is wonderful. Even wifey said so over dinner. We are also talking about how we can make more room in the garage for setting up an all year growing area.. hmmm. I can always develop some hair brained ideas for expansion.. Oh my she even brought up the notion of CANNING.. hot dam. gotta love the missus. Anyhow it is Saturday morning , the sky is blue, the sun is shining, and its a wonderful day. ENJOY.
