Did you have enough to eat

I certainly had enough to eat last night. I had brought with me my produce that needed to be used and we bought a pork roast to cook. We had lots and lots of raw peppers (sweet ones) and cucumbers. I made an apple crisp. One thing my daughter does for her children at lunch is to have extra food if they are hungry. I am surprised at what the extra food is, but it is a good idea. When her children are still hungry after a meal and they have eaten everything that was served, then she allows them to get a bag of frozen veggies from the freezer. They eat it like candy or treats from the bag. No cooking. They pour some peas or carrots or corn on their plate and eat until they are content. I like this. I do not know where she got so smart. They do not get extra fat, salt, or sugar. It is not too much bread, either. Another thing, at their house, is that most Sundays someone from their church picks up Panera Bread surplus. Sometimes there is more than others. At the church there is coffee and tea available and water. People visit and eat bagels, or sweet treats and muffins. After church there are big bags and people select what they think they will use in their home, and take home bagels, loaves, bread bowls and other surplus things, like baguettes that are there. People just take what they need, and it helps them with meals for the rest of the day and they have things to eat at the first of the week. For my daughter it helps the food budget. It is a single income household, with six people in the family. They seem to always have plenty and eat healthily, though. Son in law will pop a big bowl of popcorn for a snack too, as time permits.
