Gotta get the jump on breakfast & lunch!

On these beautiful summer days, it's so easy to forget that after about 4pm, it's damn hard to find free food! That's why an early-morning tupperware run is always in order.

Here's a good morning schedule (for weekdays):

1. Good Shepherd breakfast & coffee, 9am (show up as early as possible, it gets bad quick).
2. St. Steven's breakfast & coffee, 10am - 10:30am.
3. Scott Mission breakfast, 10:30am.
4. St. Felix lunch, 11am.
5. Scott Mission lunch, 11:30am.
6. Good Shepherd dinner, 2pm - 4pm.

Of course, you'll end up with much much more food than one person could possibly consume in a 24-hour period, but if you're picking up for a whole family, or a group of friends, who are out getting other things done, then it's perfect! It's easy to pick up enough food to feed about eight people with this schedule.

Substitute the United Church on Wright and Roncesvalles, at 1pm and 5:30pm, and you've got a pretty solid weekly schedule for "bringing home the bacon." Even if home is Trinity Bellwoods and your family is a bunch of hungry-ass weirdos with shitloads of vodka and weed.

Too broke for food again thank god.

After a whole weekend of hot dogs, sushi, subway sandwiches and terrible indigestion, sweet sweet poverty comes to the rescue once again. Just look at this beautiful afternoon:

Scot Mission's great, but it's such a lifesaver all week, it's nice to give it a rest and check out the Christie/Ossington place. It might be fun to do Christie/Ossington, United Church and Good Shepherd... with a bike it's just barely possible!

Awww YEAH United Church on Wright time!

Sunday afternoon is a great time because of the united church on Wright Ave... one of the few places on the west side! What a pleasure not to have to bomb all the way east to the Good Shepherd (which admittedly probably has a bigger meal waiting for us) and having a great chance to check out Ronces village and stuff.

Plus the church meal's good! They won't let you touch anything and that means you get served coffee like at a coffee bar, except without waiting. Plus there's only like fifteen people there having food and they'll chat and start bands with you.

See y'all theresies!!!

Working Guy Food Switchover

Working and having money for your own food and other needs is great, but not when it means a dramatic drop in food quality. Even making reasonably healthy eating-out choices (falafel instead of burgers, bacon & eggs instead of pizza) only mitigates the problem. The issue is that soup kitchens serve homestyle food, cooked with nutrition in mind, whereas restaurants serve dirty restaurant food, with taste and profit in mind.

The result is, right away when we're working and not having time for meal programs, we end up feeling like shit physically, even if we feel more socially accepted!

Just can't wait to be broke again, and have time for it. Seems like in Toronto it's hard to find part-time work, so you're either too busy to even cook at home, or you can't even afford it.
