A Pantry Challenge


The Challenge is to use what you have stored up in your pantry to make interesting new dishes by clearing out some things that have been in the pantry taking up space.  
If you have a sparse pantry then you might need to wait till its stocked up more.  
But, if you have a bit of selection you might discover some favorite meals by mixing what you have to find some great creations.  A can of spinach and some pasta shells go very well together.  
It rests solely on your items in the pantry and your ingenuity to find things that will work.  
To get you started, here are Some Ideas.  
Good luck and please let us see what you have come up with.

Canada targets food to feed the hungry.


Canada goes after food to feed the hungry.  Everyday people are starving.  The government does little to feed these people.  
Many cities have come up with a way to combat hunger,  by supporting local grown community gardens.  Free for anyone to eat from.  
Many volunteers spend their time and money developing these plots.  Now these remedies are coming under attack by their city officials.  
In these days of a world gone out of control, is it really necessary to worry about some silly permits or bureaucracy when so many can benefit from the community gardens?  We need more people of all walks of life coming up with these types of common sense solutions.

Deciding on whether or not to invest in a food dehydrator.

D:  I have been wanting one for many years now.  I am a big fan of kitchen appliances.  This is easily seen if you were to walk into my kitchen.  This video is has given me some ideas on some produce and meats to dehydrate.  Dehydrated foods would save me so much space in my kitchen.

Maximizing space to grow food.

C:  I really love how he incorporates the trickle down strawberry watering system into this setup of his.  Can certainly see the benefits of building upward instead of outward when space is limited.

We wanted something light and fresh...

After D got her hair cut we decided to get lunch.  In the shopping center we had a few choices.  There was a sushi bar, pizza place and a Mexican restaurant. We choose to go to "La Carreta" the Mexican restaurant.  


salsa sampler made for our special order. each time I eat at a Mexican restaurant I order the 4 types of dips/salsas.  nice variety to chew on while awaiting the meal.

never ending chips basket.  these were bland and perhaps a little stale but once they are dipped in the salsa or cheese dip its hard to stop eating them.

had 2 $2 dollar draft beers was the daily special.

pollo crema
C: a welcomed treat of a spicy chicken covered in a creamy cheese sauce with rice and beans.

fajita toppings/salad
Chile Reales
C: was my first time eating this and I will try it again someday.  it was a battered pepper deep fried and had a spicy sauce over it. really tastey.

2 chicken fajitas
art and stonework fireplace

reminded me of south of the border

La Carreta


with tip $30  The server seemed new maybe a little scared, but gave pretty good service. The food came out quickly and I would rate the over all experience a 3.5 out of 5 stars.
