The Bread Dumpster.

The most amazing thing happened to me last night. Becky was driving me back to my apartment when all of a sudden she took a sharp detour to the Essential Baking Company. It was nearly midnight and the bakery was definitely not open. But we were not going to the bakery, we were going to the dumpsters. And what did we find?

THREE DUMPSTERS FULL OF DELICIOUS ORGANIC BREAD!


Some of it was rock hard. You probably could have clobbered someone to death with some of that bread. But some of it was still soft. Still soft and still in the original bags! What a gold mine. And since I just got back to Seattle yesterday and haven't bought any groceries, I'm going to see how long I can live off of bread. Free bread. Dumpster bread.

I feel a little bit like I might puke. But you're amazing. A real woman, even.

Yay for good dumpster finds... You can get some good stuff in dumpsters if you look hard enough. Oh, and be careful of eating too much fibre... you dont want cabin six in your apartment.

I also feel a little bit like I might puke. As much as I love bread, I might need to incorporate some other food groups.

don't knock dumpster food until you have no money. You'd be amazed how many places throw out brand new food. The Sketchy House (the place I lived last year) did that for the entire time I lived there. All of our money went into rent so...

yeah. you just kind of have to...

Oh yeah. When I say 'incorporate other food groups,' I mean that I might have to look in other dumpsters.

Oh, man... You have to watch that dumpstering stuff.
A) You need more than bread, Ashley!
B) Dumpstering is a downhill slope...! My old roommate used to bring home beef from Trader Joe's that had been sitting outside all day... She hasn't died, yet, but even YOU can acknowledge that that isn't a good idea!
... And Trader Joes gets really pissy about dumpster-divers, unfortunately!
Welcome home... E-mail me with your mailing address, because I have something cute, poignant, and good for traumatizing roommates to send you!

Hooray for African babies! Milking yuppie Magnolia Pres for all they're worth! I'm all for it. Maybe I'll loiter there on the evening of the event just to give Uncle David the creepiest hello of his life.

Ash--
When you commented, I didn't recognize your pic and so I was like, WHO IS THAT? But then I realized and your blog all made sense (well...maybe). Anyhow, I miss ya and hope you're gearing up for school--stay rad.

Ashely who am I? "I just thought i would let you know that my tummy hurts and i have thrown up like 5 times today and that my toe hurts and that my head is itchy and well now my brain hurts and i think i have the flu..can you just check me out??"
Yea i think you get it and might even be laughing about it and thinking more and more about it so that is good. Anyways im heading to bed soon so...Ichiro's Bum is well attractive, make-up and boy are not worth the time of day! Have a swell day and wear your camo pants with the butt handle!

Puppies? You know... you CAN milk anything with nipples. I will have to inquire as to whether Magnolia Pres has nipples or not.

Now for something unrelated to puppies and nipples...

Kontagious, MY tummy hurts. You make me laugh too much.
