No more overtime without prior written permission from the director

The kids always worked overtime. Generally over 50 hours a week. Now they are required to physically work 32 hours and put in for 8 hours indicated in their time sheet as COVID time. They are loving it in the short run, but it won't be long before they miss the big paychecks.

DH went and got 3 boxes from the drive through farm store system. 1 box veggies (couple types of lettuce, tomatoes, cukes, zucchini, yellow squash, and a bunch of different peppers), 1 box fruit (pineapple, watermelon, and 2 cantaloupes), and one box of corn. Um, that is a lot of corn. Pretty sure I can freeze some since we buy frozen corn. But tonight dinner is cantaloupe and corn on the cob most likely! I already cut up a yellow tomato and ate it with a bit of mayo as a snack. Mmmmm, fresh veggies. Flat rate boxes, $10 each whether mixed or a box of all one thing. Easy peasy.

This week has been mad and I'm ready to fall asleep on the couch.

The exhaustion factor has been the worst. I don't nap and every day I really want a nap after waking up exhausted.

That reminds me- does anyone know how long a fetal pig stays good? I have one in my office that I abandoned a month ago (still packed in the sealed package....

wow that's a lot of corn. I can't remember the last time I had corn just by itself.

Sophia, aren't they soaked in formaldehyde? Anyway, the package probably has a "use-by" date on it.

I'm feeling bad now because I'd forgotten about Strega -- since I didn't cross over with her much, it went back in my mind that she was still out there somewhere. Shit.

Not gonna find that one on Still Tasty, Sophia! I suppose it's preserved, right? Good luck. I bet when that goes bad it really goes bad.

Mmmm, corn. My CSA box never showed up, alas. Deciding if I trust next week's to actually arrive or if I should cancel (I was charged for the one that never got to me, don't want to keep doing that!)

I'm out of toilet paper so I guess I will be going to the store, perhaps multiple stores. There is a restaurant across the bridge that is offering a box that includes 3 rolls of toilet paper and I am sorely tempted to just order that and go pick it up curbside but then I'd have a gallon of milk and what would I do with that?

Those sound like awesome boxes Laura—benefit of Florida I guess!!

Gallon of milk = baking or ice cream or give to neighbors.

did you call the CSA about getting you $$ back?

I emailed, they say on their website it's better to email than call.

Maybe I can find someone to take a gallon milk off my hands ETA I am not used to using milk as an ingredient since I don't keep any on hand, and I think the reality is I am not going to bake and ice cream should be made with CREAM so, no to those

Oops, that reminds me, my flower pot of succulents up at the office may not have been watered in the last three weeks. I better stop by tomorrow and see if there's anything left to salvage.

wow that's a lot of corn

Since it is the weekend tomorrow I'm going to go ahead and shuck and blanch the cobs and freeze them 4 to a gallon size bag. Then easy to toss one in the microwave any time we get the urge.

Today they had - Individual Produce Boxes: $10 a box - Red Tomatoes-$ 10 - Yellow Tomatoes-$10 - Green Bell Pepper-$10 - Cucumbers-$10 - Yellow Squash- $10 - Zucchini- $10 - Corn- $10 - Yellow Squash- $10 - Pickling Cucumbers- $10 - Poblano Peppers- $10 - Cubanelle Peppers- $10 They contribute both food and a % of the $ to the food bank too which is nice.

eta: I just unboxed the veggies into the fridge and there was an eggplant in there too!
