Here Is The Beef On Threads
Apparently Wendy’s has beef with Arby’s. This is a screenshot from Threads about turkey sandwiches. It’s funny if you ask me.
The Struggle Is So Real
Lots of people are struggling right now. It’s a matter of livelihoods, health care, hunger, affording stuff, and more. I don’t have an answer for it all. But I will say that in a prosperous country like the United States, none of this should be happening.
So many are paycheck to paycheck, and some aren’t even getting that. Life is hard for so many and having empathy, sympathy, and compassion are what can help. However, people are going hungry. Some face losing the roof over their heads. Getting seriously sick could bankrupt many. There needs to be a solution and fast.
Personally, I don’t think some in our government are equipped to do that. They are distracted on other things. So, I suppose we have to hang in there and do the best we can. Let’s hope for brighter days to come, and soon.
Cheap Dollar Store Eats
Everyone is trying to stretch their food dollar. We went to the Dollar Tree store after work and I challenged myself to make a meal from ingredients I found there.
So I found some ham, stir-fry veggies, rice, and some teriyaki sauce, so I did a ham stir-fry.
So I put in the veggies, ham, a scrambled egg and rice and after a few minutes of cooking it turned out alright. I should have added more fat and some garlic and pepper. Otherwise, it was a decent first attempt. All total, it was just over $9 to make for two people. I will try it again sometime.
My First Fall Drink Of The Season
The coffee shop where my wife works does seasonal drinks and today in honor of Fall I got a creamy iced chai called The Gilmore. It was like early Fall in a cup.
This was a delicious way to start the season and the week. It was a tasty treat.
The next drink I’m going to get is Buttermont. I am trying all three of their offerings for Fall and I’ll let you know how they are.
Sunday Reflection – Helping Our Friends and Neighbors
There are so many people in need right now. With budget cuts to many social services and food banks, there are empty shelves and empty pockets these days. You would be surprised who you find in a food bank. Regardless, those are people who are our neighbors. Sometimes our friends have to seek help when things get tough. I believe that God wants all of us and especially those who follow him to help others in any way we can. That means giving time and talents and treasure. Things are going to be tough. We all have it in us to lend a helping hand.
