Amazing Meat Find

 Today, we were picking up ads in order to make lists before we went to stores to shop. A few times we have seen sidewalk food bank. But, we never know what it is there. I think we stopped once. I urged Tommy to stop. From the curb a store away, I saw three or four packages of meat with people on the sidewalk getting one or maybe more. 

I got the attention of a woman who recognized me. She understands the mobility problem we both have. I told her one piece of meat except for the whole hen would be great. She brought back two incredibly heavy bags. And commented about so much meat. It turns out they have meat this week and may have cakes and breads another and maybe even at a different location. 

They gave us six roast-type items, bologna, and Conecuh sausage. The cost was just over $100. Amazing? I will cook some of this and give it away. 

They have a day food is sold at a discount. We have usually gone to that only when we accidentally have gone by.

I have finally gotten Tommy to take care of a serious medical problem. He has refused to take care of his lower legs. They are very hot, hard, swollen with huge blisters. I warned him that he should not have a hip replacement with that kind of trauma, that he could lose a leg. The skin looks very thin, like it might split. He could also get small spot where bacteria could enter and cause an infection. 

The doctor agreed with me and would not operate until it was treated. Tommy voluntarily pulled up his pants. Doc told him to use Eucerin on it and take diuretic. So, he must now visit cardiac doctor, endocrinologist, and gp before he will operate. He took the diuretic this morning. The diuretic made his knee less swollen and less painful. When I told him to take his pants off tonight so I could put on the cream, he did not argue or complain. It is a relief.

There were few items that were on sale at stores that we wanted or needed. We will shop tomorrow.

Electrician are coming next week to start the rewiring. They will move furniture from in front of the outlets. There is a mattress they will have to move and a 50 inch tv that I hope they will put on curb. We will give them a cash tip, not have it put on the bill. The two master electricians are working firemen when they have days off. 

For about 8 years, I have used a2milk. One day, I tried their chocolate milk. It was horrid. Last week in Publix, I accidentally found shelf stable chocolate milk in juice box type containers. It is great. I won't buy it again because I like it too much. i thought someone might be interested in other iterations of a2milk.
