Day 8 - Food Pantry to the Rescue: Canned Chicken GONE!

I had the opportunity to donate canned goods to the Howard Co. Food Pantry today. In the spirit of the CHALLENGE this project is supposed to be, I resisted the urge to donate some of my more obscure items (coconut milk, jalapeno jam...). However, I did completely wimp out and donate the 2nd and final can of chicken.

Other items included one box of Jolly Time Microwave Popcorn - just can't stand the stuff, and we had FOUR boxes!; a can of infant formula we received as a free promotion in the mail recently (boy, does someone need to clean up their database marketing!) and something else I can't remember.

So, all in all, I don't think I compromised the integrity of My Mother Hubbard Project too much, and I still was able to help out the Food Bank.

P.S. As for the turkey breast for tonight's dinner, I ended up just crock-potting it: Pour 2 c chicken broth* over the turkey breast in a crock pot set on low. Two hours into cooking, mix 2T melted butter and 3T Worcestershire Sauce*. Pour that over the turkey and keep cooking on low till it's done (for my hot crockpot, just 4 more hours). Sides were leftover rice & veggies.

'Night all.
