I'm pretty sure you need to add the caveat "with the train and car on different bridges". Otherwise two level bridges like the Houghton - Hancock Bridge in Michigan would also meet the conditions as listed. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Jack Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 (edited) I got yet another frozen turkey from the food bank today... I already had one in my freezer from Christmas that I haven't gotten around to cooking yet. When I went downstairs to put it in the big freezer... I realized I had FOUR MORE turkeys in there... Gah. Calling friends and family now to see if anyone wants one... Maybe @Dilvish the Deliverer and his horde of little D's will take one off my hands...

The first part to becoming a food hoarder is admitting you are a food hoarder. #trueconfessionsofafoodhoarder But I'm not hoarding food - I may have six turkeys in my freezers, but my refrigerator and cabinets are largely empty... I've ended up with multiple turkeys because I'm a one-person household, so I don't need a lot of food per week. And I keep being given turkeys faster than I can possibly eat them. (Hell, I don't usually bother to keep butter or milk in the house because they'll end up going bad before I can go through them.) Most weeks I spend less than ten dollars on food, since I go to the local food bank on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month. About once per week, I throw whatever meat and vegetables I happen to have into a big pot of rice or pasta (whichever I happen to have) and I eat that for dinner for as many nights as it lasts. For breakfast, I eat peanut butter and jelly on four pieces of toast, which means that I buy two loaves of bread for $1.50 each every week, and I spend $1.25 at the Dollar Tree for the squeezable bottles of jelly, and $4.59 for the off-brand jars of peanut butter at Big Lots (and also usually get little jars of it from the food bank). On days when I decide to eat lunch, or when I don't have time to eat dinner before going to bed, I buy 6-packs of ramen noodles at the Dollar Tree for $1.25. When I have a job, I buy a case of a dozen cans of corn for $10 or so and I heat them up for lunch at work. Because I almost always end up with enough food from the food bank to take care of my needs (I currently have enough rice and pasta for the rest of the month), I rarely ever have a reason to bother cooking one of the turkeys piling up in the freezer...

A roasted turkey could provide many meals of supplemental protein when added to your pot of pasta, the breasts sliced for sandwich meat or frozen and used when needed at a later date. The turkey breasts even if frozen whole [also the drumsticks] take up a lot less space than a whole frozen bird and would increase your larders supply of available protein for a long time. Sounds like you have a handle on how to have enough nutrition while living with budget constraints. GEM 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
