I love the idea of a cooking club. A women’s group at my church has been meeting for several years (before pandemic restrictions) in the church kitchen to make large batches of soup which are then stored in a communal freezer and taken to those who are sick, shut-in or grieving or just need a culinary “hug”. Given that there are a lot of singles In the congregation, and it is challenging to cook for one, there could be an opportunity to gather and cook meals to be shared.

A couple of years ago, I made my own grocery produce bags. I took the project a step further by sourcing my material from thrift stores - I used drapery sheers that had been donated but were unsaleable. Didn’t matter that there were holes or paint spatters as I wasn’t going to hang them on a window.

Day 21 post has prompted me to get involved with like minded people. I am tired of that look of people that tells me they think I am fit for the loony bin when I say, "No, I won't shop at Cdn. Super store, as I took a No Plastic Initiative in July, and I don't want to buy produce encased in shrink wrap". So I thought I would get involved in the community garden. I have only seen people in it once, but it is next store to the local RCMP office, so I will give them a call tomorrow morning as I am sure they will know who to contact. The times, "they are a changin", as my daughters' Middle School has had a huge overgrown lot in front of their school apparently for years. Well, next year the school is building a garden to get student's involved in growing their own food, and education evolving thereof. The other aspect, is the lot has a huge border along the main street, so gardening activities, and ?produce, will pretty up the block which has car selling companies and also currently looks a bit "strip mall-esh"!
