One week from today! Clothing Exchange!

I'm not sure which dish I'll bring. I am considering bringing a buffalo chicken blue cheese dip.

I have a almost quarter of my room devoted to bags of clothing that I can't wear anymore. I will also bring some men's clothing to add to that pile.

What is done with the clothing that is not picked at the exchange?

our church also has a clothes closet that we open up every 3 months and it is donated to that.

 

Thanks

Robin

Today I am experimenting with the curried chicken and rice. Well it is a real experiment. I did not have curry powder when I was about half done so I put in a few spices that supposedly are in curry powder and I am using brown rice instead of wild rice. So this may go to the trash later instead of being eaten. Or it may be so good that I could never duplicate this recipe. I also am planning on bringing some cottage cheese and applesauce for the newbies because I remember going to a clothing exchange one time and was a newbie and they did not have anything I could really eat without me feeing like I was going outside the yellow sheets so I vowed to never let anyone have guilty feeling like I did that day. Even today I use cottage cheese as a staple when I don't know what to eat as protein. I don't have any clothes to bring because I am still in the ones from quite a while ago. I am where I want to stay and I usually have alot of head hunger issues to work through every day. I wish I had a brain transplant with this bariatric surgery. Maintaining is so very hard for me!!!! But so far, so good, have gained and lost the same 6 pounds from my lowest earlier this fall. It must be where my body is happy at. As long as I don't go any higher I will accept it.

 I'll be there -- I have a TON of clothes to bring! Not sure what I am going to bring, food-wise. I'll probably decide Friday night. LOL

Any clothes not taken at the Exchange is given to Robin's church and they distribute them to the community through their services including the food Pantry. So please bring nonperishable food items and items such as toothpaste... for the pantry or I just donate $$$. Whatever works for you and that is to say Thank you to the church for allowing us to use thier building AT NO COST! I can't wait......XOXO SHanna
