    When I was a kid, we called the grocery store in our small town the bent can store because the owner got everything from damaged or surplus. Lots of cans didn't have labels so many nights were mystery can dinners. Always fun!
    Yea! Kitties got salmon.

    When we lived in Michigan, the man who owned the local store. Gave us every month a big huge box of cans goods with no labels on them. My mother would take and make the most amazing meals out of them. You are truly my sister My mom make potato dumplings just like you did here. She had to feed 8 of us.

    I loved watching you stir up a delicious meal with mystery ingredients. Your cooking videos are my favorites. I would love to see a video showing what you cook your family for a week using only what fd found in a dumpster and spices/ingredients you had in your pantry. Showing how to feed a family of four/five for a week without spending any money.

    The only thing I would have done differently is to cut the pears and add some applesauce and used some of the pear juice to make a slurryto thicken up the fruits. Maybe a little more milk (evaporated of course) or a wee bit of water with the chicken. You're right thro just about any vegetables would have been wonderful.
    I've used applesauce to bump up the amount of apples I had to make an apple crisp.

    Watching you opening those cans brought back memory's of my grandma she made this soup we call it grandmas soup. She would buy cans of peas and carrots and corn green beans stewed tomatoes and lean hamburger if she had enough money beef broth also she would fry the hamburger add all the canned stuff including the broth than minced garlic chopped onion and your favorite seasonings everyone in our family has made grandmas soup when times were hard I add elbow macaroni when my kids were still at home. My friends will come in when I have that on the stove and beg me for the recipe I make it now because my husband loves it.

    LOL I've done that a few times! I've played that....who is going to eat, me, the dog, or the chickens? Hey, chicken in the cream of mushroom with the potatos and fruit salad for dessert! I like the dumpling idea better, as I've found the texture of most canned goods to be somewhat objectionable depending on the product. Since you have the flour out...pear crumble? Oooooh nice use of extra pie shell! Add starch to the pear liquid and throw in the fruit until it thickens. Nice dinner!
