This one has served as well and the lid fits tight. But it is the backup bin. We have a much larger food bin that is the default. 12 cats go through a lot of food. And sometimes we get a lot of donations at once. In fact, this week I think we picked up close to 200 pounds.
If someone in one of the local Facebook groups posts that they need cat food we have a bag for them.

Two cats brought in as ferals that are being buddy buddy. Cece is now friendly but normally I can't even look at Jackie without her running.

Do you remember the great grilled cheese vs melt war of reddit?

I had dough I needed to do something with. Wife said "make bread and put stuff on it.". That sounded more interesting than French toast.
So here we are.
Top left going clockwise.
Butter & orange marmalade.
Bread grilled in butter topped with pak fried smoked mozzarella.
Butter & cinnamon and sugar.
Butter & cheddar.
Butter & peanut butter, raspberry preserves.
Butter under smoked mozzarella, orange marmalade, raspberry preserves.
Butter grilled bread, smoke mozzarella & smoke sardines, broiled.
Bread and meltish cheddar.
Cost per person? I have no idea. Homemade bread was about $1.25, 80¢ of butter, $3 sardines, 75¢ smoked mozzarella. The rest is rounding errors.
This is basically high food but I don't get high.

Today she reached the point where I was okay with giving her some free range time in the house. She did very well and didn't try to dodge me too much when I went to collect her. More importantly she adventured the whole time instead of hiding.

Those are the ones that they send to me. I specialize in the extra spicy and trying to give them a chance of being adoptable.

She stayed with me like that for about 30 minutes without trying to get away. I'm beginning to think she just has resting angry kitten face.

Dovey is starting to act more like a kitten and less like a scaredy cat. She isn't fully adoption ready but she is getting closer.

Lucy won't come to you for attention. But you can always pick her up and make her purr.
Lucy's mom has a bob tail. Her sisters Charlie and Tasselhoff have bobtails. But Lucy is the odd one in the family with a full length tail. It doesn't seem to cause her any problems.

There is a vegetarian trying to cause trouble. It might have been them.

I had one piece of steak, an aging bell pepper, aging mushrooms, half an onion, processed American cheese slices, flour, lard, salt and baking powder, two potatoes and some peanut oil.
The solution seemed clear. Offend my Pennsylvania wife with something that wasn't a Philly Cheese Steak.
The steak was free.
Cost per person: $2.10.
If I had to pay for the steam it would be closer to $5.50

Our local meat store, can't honestly call it a butcher, recently started carrying flank steak and skirt steak. Angus flank and skirt steak. For 7.69 a pound.
The perfect cuts for making San Diego carne asada style burritos. I've seen many a carne asada burrito on menues outside of San Diego. They have absolutely zero resemblance to what I recognize as a carne asada burrito. The real deal has citrus marinated beef, guacamole, pico de gallo salsa. That's it. No rice. No beans. No cheese. No creama. No corn. Three items in a tortilla. But if you add French fries you can call it a California burrito. But that's a different subject.
Cost wise this is complicated emotionally. This burrito is slightly smaller than the real deal. Current price of the real deal from Roberto's on El Cajon Blvd is $11.25. This homemade version was $9. Once you adjust for size they are pretty much the same price. I've always known that I couldn't make them as cheap as j could buy them. Today was just proof.

I grew up in San Diego. Most definitely not Mexican food that people in Texas would recognize as Texmex but, according to many, would fit your description. The key difference between Texas and San Diego Mexican food is that Texas uses corn and San Diego avoids it except for corn tortillas.

I think Texmex needs some form of corn. But it's definitely a lasagna. One of the few acceptable types of casserole.

I'm guessing that some people at the National Transportation Safety Board are about to get fired by Elon Musk.
