So we just received our first order from Angel Food Ministries.  My mom has been getting food from them for a while and always gave us what she didn't want or felt we needed (she's a mom, after all).  When we went on food stamps, we looked for the place where we could get the biggest bang for our buck, and Angel Food seemed like the best choice.  The crazy part is that there is no qualifying for Angel Food...if you eat, you can participate (hence why mom was getting it.  She's frugal).  Why we didn't get this stuff before, I don't know, but I'm kicking myself for not doing it.  We got a TON of food (meat, veggies, fruit, easy-prepare meals, sauces, etc).  Our freezer is as full as I've ever remembered, and we only spent a little over $100.  Each "Signature Box" feeds a family of 4 for a week, and its only $30!  Now, if you're a vegetarian, or looking for top choice stuff, you're not going to get it from here.  But it is "restaurant grade" food, and a balance of items for good nutrition, and some fun stuff too.  

Go to the website and check it out!  They have information on the local suppliers in your area.

Here endeth the commercial.

So, I'm sitting here in studio a day after a large snow storm hit Central PA.  We struck our outdoor production of Romeo and Juliet yesterday afternoon, causing me to have flashbacks from my days as a construction carpenter.  It was muddy, snowy, and windy.  I received a text from the PSU Omnitext system at 6:45am today saying that school was on, but all the trees were falling down because of the 4" of wet heavy snow.  The trees still have their leaves, and they're holding a lot of weight.  So I was sittting here in studio and outside the window, a tree just fell over.  Big sucker, too.  Could have seriously hurt someone.  Crazy.

SO glad we're having class today.  Better make sure I stay away from all the trees here at PSU...
