Some Notes:

The mushrooms were "free" as part of the Fair Food Farmstand double dollars offer for SNAP recipients.

The chicken salad sandwiches made a tasty, filling lunch. Apples are expensive this time of year.

What we have left:

29 slices of bread (17 slices in each loaf)
11 eggs
2 chicken leg quarters
1 box of pasta
5 apples
5 bananas
5 lbs potatoes
Most of the mushrooms
1.5 large onions
10 carrots
9 celery stalks
2 sweet bell peppers
a few scallions
Most of the grated cheese

Prepared food remaining:

3 quarts of chicken broth (why yes, we will be making soup)
6 servings baked penne w/eggplant
2 servings chicken salad

Mistakes So Far:

I should have worked the Fair Food Farmstand for the full $10 match. We'll probably run out of eggs so fewer potatoes and more eggs would have been smarter. We'll definitely run out of fruit. I didn't include any beans or lentils.
