When I went to college in Boston, we would make a date to meet somewhere. I would bring paper bags, and he had a gym bag. As we gathered our loot, he would tell me how to cook it up for use within a week or two. <br /><br />You and Papa are gleaners, except in earlier centuries, the poor would go out to the harvested fields and pick up the leavings. Now no one has harvested except you and the critters. It's a shame that some of this food goes to waste with so many hungry people in our county. Good for you for not letting so much go to waste.<br /><br />DianeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
