Good job on the broccoli sspencer69! It tastes excellent when you steam it then add a little butter and salt....
My kids used to make 'volcanoes': mashed potatoes mounded then home-made cheese sauce 'lava' running down through the 'forest' of broccoli trees stuck in the potatoes 😆

Yes but they would be very small portions.

Went to Costco and got the following:
2x 40 double rolls of T.P. (Now on the package it say they are double rolls and that it equals 120 single rolls?? My math isn't that bad or I'm not reading it right.)
18 rolls Paper Towel
20 boxes Kleenex
3L ketchup
2L Mustard

Unfortunately we had to evict someone from the building in which I am the asst. Super. They left behind a ton of crap we have to clean out but I did get an extra propane tank for the BBQ.

I'm actually a VERY picky eater but lately I have been trying new things. Tried broccoli for the first time and found it very bland!!

I remember my super days in Montreal...some things I picked up along the way include...
Oil lamp with wall mount
Cast iron pans, dutch oven, lasagna pan
TONS of furniture
Don't forget to check if they had a locker!

Im not sure what the risk is in the Ottawa / Montreal area but around here I wouldn't take any used furniture unless I had it completely cleaned and fumigated. There is a bedbug epidemic that wasn't a problem even 10 years ago. The damn things are everywhere.

I used to clean everything VERY WELL, but back then it was more for cockroaches!

as to my preps this week, some of my online orderrded stuff has finally gotten to me.
Small 1 led 1 AA flashlight, nice black coating metal body - will keep it in bedside table - can put crank torches etc in cupboards
Brita water filter Jug with 3 spare filters - up to 600l total filtered water.. dunno the full level of filtration but they were very cheap from Evilbay
5 Aussie military style can/botle openers w/spoon, and i got a P38 can opener as a freebie
mini tripod for my camera
Adaptor for my crank torch/radio so i can use different usb connections, it will charge my ipod but erratically
2kg of pork chops and 2 kg of tbone for the freezer - $20 the lot 🙂
2x small biscuit tins that will be faraday cages for small electronics - work with the call the cell phone inside test

Not much food/water preps because of a big grocery shop last week.
Happy prepping preeps

I bought out the dollar stores stock of canning lids - this time it WAS me Denob -120 boxes of lids - that should last for awhile...I think I have nearly hit critical mass as far as canning jars go.
