Guess what I had for lunch.

Had bacon wrapped pork tenderloins for supper tonight.

Oh wow, my ma used to make that, back before my folks got all concerned about indulging in the yummy stuff,,,

I bought four tenderloins at the Amish store that we go to in Middlebury. There's another one we get a lot of our dry goods from. I spent under $10 for the four tenderloins I got. I keep a sharp eye out because I am on a fixed income. I bought two packs of Maxwell House coffee for a dollar. I bought a bag of espresso for $2. Combine, I've got some decent coffee. My daughter, who does her shopping with me, is surprised how much I get. LOL.

I remember times my ability to afford food had me going to a soup kitchen and trying to stretch what I had. For awhile I subsisted on saltines to the point I find it difficult to eat them still today.

Sadly, Lancaster is like 3.5 hrs rail from here. Only passed around there once. I yearn for that. There's such a disconnect from that here, everything plucked from the Saran Wrap tree,,,

Forgive me, stuff on my mind, and I'm rambling, haha,,,

Lancaster, from here, is about a 12 hour drive across Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. When I say I'm frugal, I don't kid around. The most expensive piece of furniture in NY house is my futon//bed. $28. Most others cost as much as $2. Oh, and a bookcase I spent $5 for. Go figure.

Food? Soup kitchens are like three close by. Local food pantries, too. Just wish I lived I. One of the country houses I did as a boy. Raise chickens for eggs and BBQ.
