The friend who moved downtown, who I've helped with things, just posted a photo on her FB page of a fridge full of food. It was discarded by three other apartments in her building, and she found it all when it was still cold. Prepared meals (via delivery services), frozen foods, etc. Astonishing what people throw away. She's on disability and has so little cash; I think maybe she would benefit from some eBay tips. This apartment is a new building with some subsidized housing but mostly high-end renters, way different than where she moved from.

I made progress around here today, clearing off horizontal surfaces. I also processed food I brought home yesterday; froze individual pork sirloin and chicken breasts (in FoodSaver bags). My hands smell like cilantro because I pulled the leaves off of the stems and put them into a freezer bag that was flattened, sealed, and is now in the freezer. Tomorrow I'll make another zucchini casserole with some stuff from the garden that need using.

Will I jinx us by saying it's quiet tonight? Last night was very noisy with firecrackers. None tonight. We'll take the quiet when it's here. The rest of the week is bound to be a misery for the blue heeler. (And just as I'm typing this, fireworks went off. Damn.)
