\’Tis SPRING? It sure doesn\’t feel like it!

Last Saturday, it was about ten degrees warmer than it was this morning. Today it\’s chilly and overcast; and that gloomy gray doesn\’t look much like Spring, either. But at least it wasn\’t raining, and I hitched up the trailer for the trek to the salvage store. This time it was really worth it.

I found canned chicken, 99¢ for a 5 oz can; and I stocked up on chicken. It\’s combination white and dark meat, and not the all white meat that I prefer; but hey! It\’s chicken.

For ages it seemed that the salvage store rarely had canned green beans; but today I found them. They finally had hummus again, too.

Naturally I hit the grab-bag bins. This time I found only one Fit Crunch; but I enearthed two XL Bars. I like being able to get packs of M&Ms there. I have to watch the carbs, especially stuff like candy; and with M&Ms I can eat just a few pieces at a time. The same goes for candy bars that are easily broken into sections; or, if the temptation is too great, I can eat one bite and toss the rest! At those cheap prices, I don\’t have to feel too guilty about throwing the stuff away.

Writing about food was making me hungry; and of course there was the ride to and from the store to whet my appetite. I ate some pilaf for lunch; and then I had to buckle down and get to work on my taxes. That time of year always comes much too quickly!

At least I\’m not too tempted to cavort around outdoors right now. \’Tis Spring? As I already said, it doesn\’t feel like it.
