Something ...Yep, manual labor is good for the soul. Something about working with your hands -- expecially in the service for others.<BR/><BR/>I think that it has a lot to do with being made in God's image -- He loves to makes things. He made the earth and everything in it, all for us. In turn, its natural for us to want to do something similar.<BR/><BR/>And, I so agree on the canned vs. frozen vegetable thing. You've inspired me to write on this topic for my Thrifty Homeschooler email list.<BR/><BR/>When we were first married, my husband, raised on canned veggies, was truly impressed with my culinary skills. I think a lot of it had to do with the fact that I use only frozen or fresh vegetables. In fact, I heard him one Thanksgiving scolding his sister for using canned corn -- too funny.<BR/> <BR/>It's been said that eating frozen is just as good or better than eating fresh. The reason is the vegetables are picked when perfectly ripe and immediately frozen. Fresh produce, on the other hand, is picked when under-ripe so it will be just ripe when it hits the stores.

They deliver a plastic bag to households with suggested items listed on the outside. Pasta and rice are always included. <BR/>St Vincent de Paul here recently specifically requested rice for some Burmese refugees about to arrive in town.Kiwi Nomadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13351034705766073667noreply@blogger.com
