Breakfast: I had two eggs over medium and two pieces of toast, my husband had one egg and one piece of toast
Lunch: I had leftover gumbo and my husband had a frozen dinner
Snack: a few bites of leftover broccoli and squash casserole
Supper: I had vegetable soup made with frozen vegetables, tomatoes and chicken broth. My hsuband had a frozen dinner and rice. For dessert I indulged in the Reese's cups that I bought yesterday.
Let's start this post by saying that not being able to indulge in free food nearly killed me today. Members of our church provide refreshments after church services for fellowship. Today, there was a FEAST. I did not cheat, but boy was I tempted! Coffee cake, veggie trays, fruit trays, fresh watermelon, Panera bagels...It was so tempting! We came home from church, had lunch, then went grovery shopping for this coming week. There were samples on every isle. Again, I continued to shop without eating. I had to pass up samples of coffee, jelly sandwiches, fresh fruit, and cookies.
This leads me to my next question. How do people on food stamps survive without partaking in free food whenever and wherever possible? I'm thinking food banks and free samples in stores. Do people working several jobs have access to food bank services? I'm curious to know if food banks have hours of operation that would interfere with people's ability to take advantage of the food bank.
