Hey, folks. I hate doing this, but my family and I need help with money for food & gas. This is unfortunately going to be a regular request until I can get a new job. (See my pinned posts for my resume.)

We average about $35/day for food (2 adults, 2 kids) and $10/day for gas, if we are being cheap. Dog food is $22/week. So we need around $335-$340 to make it through the week, making sure everyone is fed and gets to school. Any help, however small, is deeply appreciated.

Please boost for reach! And remember, you can unboost and boost again to keep it visible.

Week of Dec 11:
Progress: $1232.85/$340

*** OMG, y'all, thank you all soooo much for all your help! We can ge the car insurance & reg covered (~$300), pay several bills (water ~$130, elect ~$170), and even eat on this for a while, too. ***

Five years ago I had a particuarly vivid dream: I was at a fair ordering food from a food truck. There was something on the menu called “Pear Surprise”. I don’t remember what it was, but it was so surprising, it woke me up!

There has been much speculation over the years in my family about what a Pear Surprise might be. Is it full of pears when you don’t expect it? Does it actually not contain pears at all? NO ONE KNOWS!!!

So Kid 2 made me a Pear Surprise for Christmas! I am surprised.

Can anyone recommend a recipe for Rice Paper Spring Rolls? The only real caveat is that it needs to be Vegan 🤔

"With huge waiting lists, public demand for allotments is clear. What’s needed now is political will, and an ability to reimagine cities not just as places to live and work, but as places to grow.

Because as Corbyn warned: once these spaces are lost, they’re rarely replaced"
