Thanks for the reminder.

I always try to keep a few cans of beets, spinach, lima beans, etc. on
hand for when the Scouts or the Post Office has a food drive.

There's a can of jack mackeral in the pantry that I bought a year or two
ago and still haven't figured out what to do with, but I think that
would be a little too "over the top".

Best regards, ;-)
