Thwarted!

Dh, Perry, and I are off for a bike ride today (down by Lacey/Yelm, plan is about 40 miles).

Anyhow, that is just incidental. This is the post I wanted to make:

Today is the Letter Carrier's food drive and when I went to the supermarket the other day, I bought Stuff for that. Tuna, canned chicken, canned ham, baked beans, a few boxes of mac and cheese, plenty of (highest protein I could find) soup. And peanut butter. Four jars.

Not the organic of-course-we-blend-in-the-red-skins kinds that we usually get. No, the sugar and whatEVER laden Other Peanut Butter that my kids adore and that I can't keep in the house because AC will eat a whole jar in a day.

OMG, Perry and Linnea were so excited, going through the bag, They kept on asking hopefully "Is this for us?" "What about this?" and going on and on about how wonderful the prepared foods I was going to donate were, SO much better than the icky stuff I feed them.

Heh. I don't take it personally and I'm reasonably sure that after a week of Hamburger Helper with ground beef, they'd be back to wanting MaPo Tofu with ground chicken (ground at home, blah blah blah) with extra Sriracha sauce for Perry.
