Today I took a drive to the drive through food bank and popped my trunk. What we get is a mystery until we get home. This one was full of wonderful produce that will be used up or preserved for sure!
Okay Suzzie, I'm still catching up on all your old video's and Sharing them. I think I'm close to being done. This was a fun video to watch! Your video's are great!
Thank you so much! You blessed me with those views.
Hey there, Suzzie👋🥰 Nice haul...I adore cabbage. You were truly blessed! If those are Jerusalem artichokes they are used in much the same way as a potato, but I've seen them sliced, battered and fried as well. And if they are yams...even better! Have a blessed day 🥰
Yes! Thank you! I have yet to get in the kitchen and cook them up. I might to it today by roasting them with a little oil, salt and pepper as a side.
@@justcallmesuzzie Sounds yummy!!! 🥰
good haul , yummy cabbage and cantaloupe , My grandparents always grew and had turnips on the table , of course as a kid I wasnt into that ,but now i love turnips , love the greens on them also
Thank you! I am still processing the veggies from that haul! LOL
Hi 🎉our monthly food bank blessed us up here in California too this month. I can’t drink milk so I find someone else to hand it off to. Swiss chard big bag of grated cheese & a cheddar block eggs apples fish pork chops. It was a good haul.❤ Suzzie
That is awesome!
Yumm! Love cabbage & so many ways to cook...cabbage rolls, smothered, slaw, sauerkraut and the turnips also can cook & mash like mashed potatoes, Interesting about the yams!
Oh yes! They are kinda rare here in the US. It is a specialty item to be honest. I am grateful to get them!
The fruit looks great! Nice haul🙂
So good!
I wash the outside of any melon before cutting into it. Otherwise you’re dragging all that outside dirt inside everytime you cut
I do the same!
Just subscribed your channel never seen it before..i love it.u r blessed young lady.i have no way of getting to the food bank s. I'll watch u ok
Watch me all you want! You can even go back and watch the old videos as well! It entertains you and helps me while costing you nothing but your time, which is so important to me.
Yes you can grow cantaloupes with those seed just lay them out and let them air dry until ready to plant you can also clean and dry them and bake them , by putting a little oil on them and whatever spices you like... Almost like roasted nuts...
Thanks for the tips! That is so good to know!
Those yams look kinda like a spanish root, but not sure. I used to be a cashier and we got all kinds of cool produce through our line. It was really fun but all the standing killed my legs and back. You got a LOT of lovely items for your haul this week. Take care. ( I just saw in another comment that they are).
Yes, someone told me what they were and instructions on how to cook them.
@@justcallmesuzzie Awww... that was SO nice of them!
It was!@@bumblebee7922
those dark veggies you thought were ginger are called Edo's we love them you peel them like a potato and boil in water like a potato we grew up on them its a tropical root vegetable I wash my cantaloupe well but i would not add antibacterial soap i would be afraid of it harming me like a poison.
That is awesome! I ended up giving them away to someone who wanted to try them. LOL
I like how you put the cantaloupe in the fancy glass! I like doing that too. Makes it more festive. Try sprinking it with a little salt or other spices, changes up the flavors and makes it even prettier. Hope they were sweet!
That is so true! One day I will talk about those desert cups I have.
Hi Suzzie, new here, I also go to pantries. Here in indiana.i go every week and then once a month for seniors only, they help with household item,
You were blessed.
It is such a blessing! Welcome to the community! We love to share, suggest, and get creative here!
I have through them out before an grew them. An pumpkin to
Yes, that is what happened to me one year and why I said that. I know they do grow and so I am excited to get them planted in the garden!
Yes, Save your seeds let them dry out on paper towel and store brown bag after they're dry. You can dry in the kitchen.
Yes! Thank you!
Malanga in English yautia very good peel boil mash it up with butter
Thank you so much! I looked it up after you said that and you were correct! Now I am going to make it the way you just told me on camera and try it!
YES!!! That's what they are!!! I thought they were a Spanish root from my cashiering days. I also ate some at my Spanish friend's house. Yummy. The ones I've seen were much bigger/fatter though. The skin on them gives it away.
Good video❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂
Thank you! You blessed me today!
Could be tumerick or ginger
I found out it was a kind of root vegetable that my neighbors love and used.
Save the seeds, rinse and dry. Then toast them like pumpkin seeds. Add salt to taste.
I did not know that about cantaloupe seeds!
Easier to use the spoon to get the insides out of the cantaloupe
Great idea!
Wow, Suzzie - you got a lot of nice things! I was wondering if you’d get some of the same things. We did have a few things in common, but in different amount and packaging. My first thought when you showed the bag of mystery produce, was maybe ginger, but the other pieces didn’t seem right for ginger, so I’m curious as to what they are.
You just now said they are yams. Do they taste the same as sweet potatoes?
Suzzie, I have difficulty with getting my groceries into the house too. What I do is just carry things - boxes or bags or whatever to the edge of the porch and leave them there while I make more trips to and from our pickup. Then I only have to go up my ramp once, without having to carry heavy things. Then I can just move them into the house from there. But I think your porch has a railing. If it does, I guess that wouldn’t work for you.
Until next time, have a good weekend, and try to take it easy, if you can.
That is a great way to get the groceries in. That does not work for me so I use reusable grocery bags and put them on my shoulder to get up the steps. Sometimes we do get a lot of the same things. Nation wide food distribution because sometimes it is even the same brand.
Yams are delicious!
Yes they are!
Good afternoon ❤
Good to hear from you!
I see a pot of cabbage soup in your future!
Nope, I have plans for that cabbage! It is coming up in a future video!
No it's not ginger I think it a vegetable you perl cook use like potatoes there yummy
Ok thank you!
I'd put the juicer one n a bowl by itself it will go bad on u first
That is a wonderful idea! I froze them so I can make frozen melon waters out of them! I love melon water.
Might those be Jerusalem artichokes or sunchokes?
I looked them up. They are yams!
Does it still help the algorithms if we have already watched the videos and we re watch them?
Yes it does. Every view is adding to the algorithms. So if you view again it counts.
Love cabbage
I do as well!
You can small small but very sweet
Thanks!
Thanks to the gardener the idea would be Jerusalem artichokes Jerusalem artichokes
Thanks for the info!
it looks like someone emptied their root celler and gave it to the pantry
Could have been! It is my gain!
Hmmm now I’m wondering something. We bake pumpkin seeds. I wonder whst sotkd happen if we baked cantaloupe seeds.
Time for some research on that! LOL
I think its Taro root 😊
Thanks, I have gotten so many different guesses. LOL
This is what I came to say
I am glad you said it! LOL@@jenniferbanks2241
Can’t tell what vegetable that is. It wasn’t in front of the camera long enough to identify it.
vinegar water is that good for cantlop
No idea, I just want the peeling clean before I cut into it.
@@justcallmesuzzievinegar is a natural cleaner for everything!
This economy sucks right now it's terrible that we see videos of people having to go to food banks in the richest country in the world.
My goal is to break the stigma of going to food banks. I want people to know that if they feel the pinch in the economy and are on retirement, it is ok to go to the food banks. I live in hurricane alley and being prepared to not be able to go places for weeks and even months is essential in my area. I prefer to prepare rather than be stranded with no essentials.
Jerusalem artichokes
Thanks
Yacca
Thanks!
Do you have an income pension or welfare payment?
I have teacher retirement.
That stuff looks like it came out of a dumpster behind a grocery store. I think telling about going to the food pantry is not that interesting.
Thank you for your comment. It is much appreciated. I wish everyone could see the blessings.
Good morning❤
Good morning!
