It was nice to hear a lovely Thank You message on the Fruit Share hotline (aka my phone) today from Micheal at Fred Tipping Place. I don’t know Micheal, but he wanted to extend a hearty THANK YOU to all the Fruit Share volunteers and fruit owners for sharing fresh fruit with them.
Thanks Micheal for your appreciation, it makes our volunteer work that much more rewarding.
Another great picking session this afternoon. Thanks Stephanie! We got about 180 pounds of big, delicious Goodland apples.
This time, we shared a box with seniors at Fred Tipping Place. Douglas was one of several seniors who thoroughly enjoyed taking a few apples up to his apartment.
City TV also came out this afternoon to get some footage of us picking apples. It will be aired on Tuesday, September 14 when my kids and I will be doing a Breakfast Television segment on Fruit Share for the Manitoba Association of Home Economists. Stay tuned for more details.
Yeah, cherries!
Thankfully, the rhubarb keeps on coming! Thanks to Alastair for delivering 6 lbs of rhubarb today. This batch will be going to some neighbours and to Fred Tipping Place.
Still searching for what to do with your rhubarb? How about substituting it in recipes that call for fresh or frozen cranberries.
Turkey with rhubarb sauce? Ok, it might not work for everything, but why not experiment and have a little fun.
We turned a cranberry banana loaf into a delicious rhubarb banana loaf this weekend. Yum!
Last night was the second delivery of rhubarb to Fred Tipping Place. As I approached the glass doors I could hear “That’s the lady who I got the rhubarb from.” which was quickly followed by a chorus of “Come in, Come in!” And just like that, the awkwardness of entering a seniors apartment building with a little bit of rhubarb disappeared. Clearly, they’re happy to get some fresh rhubarb – no matter how much or how little.
And so it begins.
