MY SECOND VISIT TO THE FOOD PANTRY - Ah! such nice vegetables!

I went to the Food Pantry early this morning.  I had been told that it opened at 10am, but, when I arrived at 10:15, there was still the usual mob scene of first-comers outside, and I was told, when I went in to register, that the Pantry would open at 11am. I went over to the Senior Center to ask when I should expect to receive my permanent ID card, and, along the way, I got a senior ticket to the Pantry, which permitted me entry immediately (yea! sometimes old is good!)

Anyway, there were a lot of fresh vegetables, so I came away with a pretty good haul, even though, this time, as opposed to the last time I was there, they didn't allow taking as much of the fresh vegetables as one might want.  I did get:
 
red chard - 1 big bunch
kale - one big bunch
baby kale - one big bunch
cilantro - 1 bunch
parsley - 1 bunch
bananas, very very ripe - 1 bag
turnip - 1 large red one with good greens on it.  


I would say it was a good haul. I can't complain, but only give thanks to the people who make this Food Pantry possible for those of us who need it.
