Independence Days update

1. Plant something: Nope.

2. Harvest something: Nope.

3. Preserve something: Also nope.

4. Store something: Nope.

5. Manage Reserves: Reorganized pantry (but might need to do this again soon); still working on decluttering and deciding what's important and what's not.

6. Cook something new: New bread recipe; sushi bowls.

7. Prepped something: Stocked up on food while I have the use of a car - 20 lbs of all purpose flour, four kilos of rice, five lbs sugar, canned tomatoes, rolled oats, kosher salt, pasta, bisquick (for quiche - one of the few semi-prepared things I buy still), frozen fish.

8. Learned a new skill: Guitar skills slowly improving; learning how to hand wash clothes on a wash board; bread making.

9. Worked on community food security: Talked a bit more about food issues with sweetie and another friend - mixed reception all-round; signed up for some teaching classes that I hope will come in handy on this front.

10. Reduced waste: Picked up bus pass, but generally not a good week for this either - will post more later.

11. Regenerated: Took a car load of clothes and other bits and pieces to the local goodwill.
