"...let's eat"

Times being what they are meals are problematic. This for millions of us. The national, and local economy has been effectively destroyed. Still I'm moved by all the sharing. Hard times bring out the best in many,...maybe even most.

On the local front,...my kitchen.

Making dinner is always a project. Like building a Ferris wheel with an erector set or a Meccano set in the Commonwealth. Btw did anybody ever actually finish doing that. It looked so cool on the box, but always ended up like a pile of aluminum spaghetti.

That said one builds a meal these days with assorted unlikely parts. Found items around the kitchen that might be eatable. Some chosen some not exactly. 

I've gone to a local pantry they only have what they have. I'm seriously grateful mind you. However I was never a fan of canned artichokes. However the Army MRE's are a good stock for stews.

This is what our folks prepared us for. The Depression/WW2 generation made do, and instilled that practicality in us. Millennials not so much...but these are learning. 

So thanks to the U.S. bleeping Army Saint Augustine's pantry, and my careful shopping at the supermarket Dinner is served.

Is this a great country or what?
