I’ve tried that and have never been able to make it work.

I hid a box of Little Debbie Fudge Rounds in my closet once and forgot about them. Found them months later when looking for something.

If they’re anything like Twinkies, they have a shelf life of forever.

My late Aunt (very frugal hehe)
used to put boxes of chocolates she was given
on top of her cupboard in the living room
One day I said: Auntie, can I have a piece of delicious chocolate, please?

She took one of the boxes and opened it....
Phew!
They were not fit for consumption
Out of date...

Well, I was a little girl then
and that was a life lesson for me.
"Don't leave for tomorrow
What can be eaten today"

Eat fresh products.

Who knows what tomorrow brings?

Another Aunt - develops allergy to some food
(chocolate, , tomatoes and who knows what else...)
with each passing year as she's getting older.
She only eats bread and little else.

Really, we never know what might happen tomorrow.
Enjoy this moment.
Focus on today.

Carpe Diem

Christmas Eve/Wigilia for the lonely.

Volunteers in my city
(also pupils from my school and their parents)
are busy preparing for the Metropolitan
Christmas Eve/Wigilia Without Loneliness.

Organizers expect 4,000-5,000 guests.

Students from my school agree that they got involved in volunteering out of the kindness of their hearts.

The list of ingredients needed to prepare Christmas Eve dinner for several thousand guests is impressive.

It includes
1,000 kilograms of carp,
800 kilograms of fish fillets,
5,000 pierogi stuffed with cabbage,
60,000 dumplings for borscht,
and 10 kilometers of disposable tablecloths.

Nearly 400 volunteers are involved.
They began working in the kitchen on Saturday
– five days before Christmas Eve.

The Chef says that
being with these people is pure pleasure
and thanks to the numerous volunteers who are involved in preparing Christmas Eve dinner,
work goes quickly and efficiently.
Despite the enormous amount of work, they really manage.

I helped too - but in my Parish Church,
which also is preparing festive dinner for the old and lonely parishioners.
I'm good at making pierogi (with cabbage and wild mushrooms)



It's worthy sharing Goodness.
