Free: Beef Stew (a bit spicy) (Lake City/Meadowbrook) Beef stew including potatoes, carrots, tomatoes & onions. Very heavy on the meat, slightly spicy, but quite tasty. Addition of more veggies would dilute the spice. Please let me know how much you can use. If you just want a couple of generous servings, I can probably give you takeout container ready to go!

Free: Lactose-Free Coffee Creamer (Lake City/Meadowbrook) Expired 6 quarts each of French Vanilla & Sweet Cream; made with real cream. "Best by" 6/05/26, but the sugar content keeps these things fresh long past that date. I also use these for any recipe that calls for milk or cream & sugar; just decrease the amount of sugar you add. Makes great French toast, too! Please specify how many quarts you can use or share.

Free: More Gravenstein apples (Lake City/Meadowbrook) Gifted Another 20-30 pounds of Gravensteins. We never spray our trees & only use organic compost as fertilizer. These are windfalls, so not perfect, but ideal for pies & sauce. Have a tart-sweet flavor. You cannot buy Gravensteins at the store, as they have a short harvest season & do not store well in commercial cold storage. So get them while you can! (Please specify how many pounds & when you can pick up.)

Please specify how many pounds you need & how you'll put them to use. Oh, yes, please give date & 2-hour window for pickup. I'll start checking for responses at 1pm today (Monday).
