PCC Pastries Question

**I took the bulk pastries and put them into reasonably sized proportions and bagged them. I think this is a great way for them to be used. I'm going to suggest that everyone take a moment and consider whether the bags I used be added to the supply donations made by all the members. It will tell me if I should continue to take the time to bag them up for the group. It did take a lot of time -- Should I continue this or move the bulk pastries on to a donation place?

Leftovers. Use it up.

Once we get our rescued goods from the shed, it seems like a crime to let them go to waste. I love creative ways to use leftovers or surplus. Usually it's soup.
This week I've made strawberry vanilla bean jam, strawberry rhubarb pie and rosemary rhubarb jelly. YUM-town.
I also saw an inspiring post with some great leftover ideas on the Tasty Kitchen Blog. Check out this link to tasty kitchen leftovers ideas.

BOOKS!

Sno- North Team called and they get books from half price books. The question is….do we want some of these books from Sno-north and where will we put them? I told the Manager I would let her know in a day or two so I need response back ASAP.



Thanks,



Kay

Pizza Wanted - Llana

I'm looking for 5 pizza's for my son's b-day party on Wednesday 5/12. I don't know if there will be any runs in the next couple of day's, but I'd love to glean up to 5 pizza's and salad fixings.
Perhaps the pizza people could call me directly if there are pizza's then I'll know to come down right away.

Thank you,
Llana Buse

Thursday Run - STRAWBERRIES!

About 10 flats of strawberries came in! YUMMY.
2 boxes of bananas Potatoes, a few personal sized watermelon, some nice button and baby bella mushrooms, apples, herbs, some spinach, jalapeños. Bakery stuff. Bread, bagels, pitas. A few tasty looking scones from star-bucks.
And Quite a lot of roma tomatoes.

Have a great day.

Mmmm.... Use the CAKES in the freezer.

Lets use those sweets and treats!

Email from Deana :

We need to move out the pies and cakes from the freezer to make room for this and the next friday's bread runs; the freezer would serve better having bread in it than these sweets. Once we have our management team established I would be contacting the Outreach manager about this, but at the moment I don't think we have one. Posting it on the blog might be better, or maybe an e-mail... I don't know. I just don't want to compost them, I'd rather they get shared out - ASAP :)
