Day 5. record haul

We have typically been going to dumpsters during the day. This may sound counter intuitive, but there are plenty of cars to block us, and there is stuff thrown out all throughout the day, so there is rarely a lack of food.
Plus going after closing, you generally have to wait until 1230, and thats pretty late.

But we heard it was better, and last night was such a night that proved that to be so.
There was much more to be had than the following list, but we were on bikes, and this was all we could carry:

                                              The Haul

4 Loaves of bread
3 dozen eggs
5 pomegranates
2 bags of oranges
4 bags of mini potatoes
2 boxes of tomatoes
2 bell peppers
1 pound bar of chocolate
1 box of chocolate almond snacks
4 salads
1 sandwich
1 serving of prime angus beef sirloin
2 bags of pasta
1 soy milk
1 bag of smoked salmon
1 banana
1 vanilla yogurt
1 Challah bread
1 coleslaw
4 nectarines
7 apples
1 bag of crackers
2 pepperoni pizzas
1 bag of potato chips
1 bag of pears
1 frozen beef plate

Notable dumpster recipes have included onion/bell pepper/potato soup, stuffed bell peppers (essentially with that soup), lots of apple sauce, pasta with tomato sauce.
*Dumpster trick: olive oil from salad dressings to saute onions.

So far, I have learned to enjoy eating dates, and the love of plain toast, although it was only 4 days since we had bread, that was a hunger pain happily filled after last nights haul.
The chocolate was also divine.
I am about to try and make date jam, or some kind of fruit jam for the bread.

                                                                              Stuffed Bell Peppers and Steak

                                                       A very full, and happy fridge

Peace and trees.
