Feeding the hungry

 There is an old guy who visits the garbage can outside our office every day. He will dig through looking for food. The one manager that comes from out of town said that she'll put the leftovers from her lunch on the top of the garbage can for him to get.

I dug through my cupboards looking for things I could leave him. The only think I came up with was a big bag of animal crackers that I bought for Presley only to find out she didn't like them. I filled a ziplock bag with them and left them on the top of the garbage can when I got to work. While I was sitting there a young guy walked past, saw the baggie, picked it up, checked it out and then walked off with them. The next day I took another baggie full and waited a little longer before I put them out.

The old man came by that day and he took my baggie of animal crackers and some french fries that the other girl left for him.

I'm going to make a point of finding things that I can leave him. Maybe even fill a bag once a week with food that won't spoil. 

Soups on

 The weather may be a little hot to make soup yet but I saw a recipe on a blog recently that I had to try. I'm sorry but can't for the life of me remember who's blog I saw this on. I think it may have been Denise's blog An English Girl Rambles.

The soup is bean, bacon and tomato. I used the beans that I had in the cupboard which was one can of navy beans and one can of butter beans. The air bubbles in the picture are because I just poured the soup into the container to put in the fridge. This was really tasty and I'll keep this one in my favorites to make.

Drawings Year 2 week 10

 The new job hasn't slowed me down on the drawings. I'm still doing one a day.

Weekend crafting

 Now that I'm back to work my crafting is pretty much confined to the weekends. I suppose I could do some during the week but I haven't figured out how to fit it in just yet.

A recent weekend craft project was quick and easy. I made some fabric cord keepers. I take a phone charger to work with me so this keeps it nice and neat in my tote bag. Plus there are always chargers sitting around and the cords are all over the place. Now they are extra tidy.
