RE: Freecycle and similar websites - Veggie - 29-07-2023
Yesterday, IN came a very nice little Hifi thing with CD, tuner, MP3 player and bluetooth and 3 bananas!
Today I went to church and picked up some panini, cheese rolls, mixed salad, lentils, a flapjack, cookie and 2 hot cross buns.
OUT went a collection of wooden, dust-collecting objects. One of the collectors had a tour of the garden so I managed to offload 2 cucumbers and various plants and cuttings on her.

Sounds like a cookery competition - what can you make with these ingredients
RE: Freecycle and similar websites - Veggie - 30-07-2023
IN today came my week's sourdough bread ration! I was chatting to the husband who was busy in the kitchen - said that his kids liked to come over when he was making Turkish eggs. I had no idea what this was - imagined something like Scotch eggs - so asked him what the ingredients were. Next thing, he standing there with a tray of food (not for me but the kids). The Turkish eggs looked like moussaka made with aubergines, tomatoes, white sauce and, he said, 2 raw eggs in the mixture. Not at all what I imagined. Smelled delicious. I tried inviting myself for lunch but it didn't work!

Also IN today from Olio - 8 packets of smoked cooked ham (there were 45 on offer), garlic sausage and 2 bags of sliced onions.
OUT went an old Iphone.

Just back from my second visit to the £5 Food Pantry.
You remember how it goes..........do you want Brie or Mozzarella, milk or eggs, Nandos or KFC chicken etc. I had KFC, 6 eggs, Brie, 2 bags of grated cheese, tin of sardines, vegan burgers, turkey sliced meat, a malted loaf, bagels, bread rolls, doughnuts, cookies, madeira cake, crisps, 2 cans of tango, plums, tangerines, vine tomatoes, avocados. I turned down celery & cucumbers. Well pleased with that lot for £5.

I'm not havig a go at you, just interested, as there is nowt like that round here.

Its open to all - its not a food bank but people in need don't pay. https://hangarhub.org/food-pantry-cardiff/
They have two open days a week - Thursday & Sunday about midday, which I haven't been to, and so-called Pop-up pantries whenever they have food to distribute that won't keep until Thurs/Sunday. All of last night's food was left after there had already been a lunchtime "shop". At the end of the evening they offer free boxes of food to anyone who can pick it up. I haven't done that either!
It horrifies me to think that all this food would be going to waste if it wasn't for groups like this.

Sounds like a fab setup btw!
Is it callled Hangar because it's in an old aircraft hangar? 
RE: Freecycle and similar websites - Veggie - 04-08-2023
Not an aircraft hanger unless its for very small aircraft. Maybe its named after Hannah and Gary or summat!
Just had this FB message:-
"Free bakery & use by boxes tonight.
Boxes are likely to contain prepared fruit & vegetables, vegetable meals, salads, sandwiches ,possibly milk.
Collection will be around 10 pm ( I will message when ready ) from gym car park only , please do not enter gym. We will bring out to you.
Please only request a box if you intend to collect"
Don't fancy going down there at 10pm so not tempted - even if it is free.
