I also have brown rice, but I returned most of it. The white rice takes 20 minutes and the brown rice takes 40 minutes to cook.
4 to 8 oz of uncooked rice, one can of green beans, one can of carrots, some onion, diced tomatoes and a meal.
People with nothing better to do.Yesterday they did a food give away in town. It was an epic disaster.
The town only has 15,000 people, County 80,000.
The place opened at 8 am for drive up and take a bag.
It literally shut down the town and half the county.
Lines were up to 10 miles long.
People were calling in to the local radio station and asking what the disaster was as the causeway to the island was blocked due to traffic and many other areas.
It resolved itself by noon as they ran out of food and sent everyone on their way pissed off.
There is a real problem brewing and I am unsure what can be done about it.

I’m going to save you a lot of money. Here’s what you do:No spicy V-8. Talk about hardship!
Hot Dawg! I'm surely going to try this...have to get the generic veg juice first. Wish I had known before going to the grocery today. Now, it may be a month or so of hardship! Thanks for the tip.I’m going to save you a lot of money. Here’s what you do:
Buy the generic cans of vegetable juice (the big cans).
Get some lemon juice
In a 2-quart pourable container, add the vegetable juice, lemon juice to taste, salt, pepper and your favorite hot sauce.
Close and shake well. Taste and adjust ingredients as you see fit
Enjoy! Best after being in the fridge for 24 hours for the flavors to blend.
I’ve been doing this for years. I started after they discontinued the Picante flavor. Now I just make my own at half the price.
Our local ads have shrunk. A full page has about 7 items, basic stuff. Bigger markets have a double side page, used to be twice that.Anybody else get a Kroger sale sheet weekly? I was just looking at mine since we are going to town tomorrow, and it looks like they made each item much larger than usual to keep people from noticing how few items there are. I’ve never seen so much white space in one of their flyers before!

The do this about once every other month. Normally no biggie..... some traffic where they do it, but other than that, easy in and out. Not this time for sure!!People with nothing better to do.
Free Food!?
No questions asked!?
Road trip!?
Hell yeah!!
I don't know what the "organizers" expected.

Famine is almost always a case of food distribution and not an actual lack of food.I saw photos of something similar in California in the news... and yet vegetable producers are throwing food away because they say there's no one to give it to.
I love it, but won’t put it in. If I do, the flavor overwhelms everything. I’m just very sensitive to the taste. I add it to soups and on steak though.And a splash of Worcestershire sauce!
Just got back from Sams and Walmart. At Sams there was no one outside like they were counting how many people were in the store at a time. There were a lot of cars in the parking lot. Since I was last there, about a week ago, the amount of product had improved considerably. They had TP! Most people I saw had one in their cart. Now, I'm sure they were going to to sell out, but it looked like they had 2 big pallots of it. (1 only) Their meat was almost back to normal. They had big bags of sugar, flour, rice, ect. They had pretty good amount of canned stuff. PB was quite low. Produce was back up close to normal.
Walmart was still counting how many were in the store, but I didn't have to wait. They are letting people in both sides. Quite a few people there. Nothing had really changed there. Quite a few holes in stock. Small bags of flour and sugar, no big ones. Meat was about 1/2 what it used to be. Produce was pretty stocked. Much less ice cream available! I wasn't there long. I spent too much at Sams.
I don't know if anyone else is like this...chime in if you are so I don't feel so bad. I keep buying food. It's like I can't stop. I no longer trust the system. I bought TP even though I have over 100 rolls just because it was there. If they only had a few I wouldn't have bought any, but they had quite a bit. I bought more rice, flour, sugar, oil, vegetables. I need to stop I think. We don't have unlimited money. We're both working, but, really, no one's job is absolutely safe. I should be saving our FRN's or paying off a debt I have.

Meat has shot up in price. Shelves are absolutely not being restocked either. I picked up some steak, some bacon and sausage and some beef ribs today. Also got some lamb, but it is also going up in price.
LOCATION PLEASEI received my order of eggs, ground beef, chicken and eggs last night. Ground beef is now $7.00 a pound, eggs are $6.00 a dozen and chicken was $7.00 for 4 breasts. Guess it won't be long before we stop buying beef if the prices keep going up. I can use my powered eggs for baking, but I prefer regular eggs for meals.
Wife and I have been treating ourselves for the last month or so by buying/eating a Sam's Club cheesecake once a week. So, yesterday bought our weekly cheesecake ... ate some last night ... they have drastically cheapened the recipe!!! It used to be heavy with real cheese (cream cheese??). Now it tastes like the jello cheesecake pudding mix ... no cheese flavor, somewhat foamy (not heavy), pretty much tasteless! But! The price is the same! Ripoff. Never again.

around here there are no local farmers - maybe an hour or more away - but it's all city around hereBuy from local farmers! Eggs down here right now are around $2.00 a dozen from farms, and beef is anywhere from $1.50-1.85 a lb when you buy in bulk from a local farm.

I know. For some reason, people aren't buying fresh fruit and veg. in the grocery stores either. Prolly too damned dumb to know how to build their own salad..has to come in a clear plastic box, and never discovered the simple concept of microwave-steamed vegetables.I saw photos of something similar in California in the news... and yet vegetable producers are throwing food away because they say there's no one to give it to.

Holy carp. You peeps on the coasts and dense population areas are screwed. OK...I just got the ad for my local meat store (N. MN) this morning...they have been remaining well stocked all week for their sale items...I check. And for the past 3-4 weeks, they have been apologizing for having had to raise prices.North Carolina - Charlotte -I received my order of eggs, ground beef, chicken and eggs last night.

Funny. The fresh produce aisles here are bursting. (N. MN.)A lot of the stores on the coasts have no fresh fruits or vegetables right now, all the while produce farmers are letting fruits and vegetables rot in the fields because they no longer have schools, hotels, or restaurants to sell to, someone said it was due to contract issues... so millions will go hungry because of a contract that can no longer be honored.
