Moving Sale by Susette






hello all!

so, many of you know we just moved, and the condo came with some items we don't need anymore, as well as a table we no longer need. if you are interested, please let us know by emailing me or calling me.

washer/dryer set: they both work wonderfully although they don't match, our condo just came with newer ones so we decided to keep those instead. we're asking 60 bucks for either one, or 100 bucks for the set. (or best offer really...) we do need you to be able to pick them up yourself, though. :)

microwave: again our condo came with one, so we don't need ours any longer. it is fairly new and in great shape, we're asking 20 bucks for it.

kitchen table with 3 matching chairs: it comes with a leaf in it, and is in great condition with the exception of a leg that has become disconnected. :) it would easily be reconnected with some wood glue and/or nails. we're asking 25 for this.

thanks a bunch! if possible, we need the washer/dryer and microwave to be taken by the 31st, since they are still at our old apartment and we need to be out by then. spread the word!

thanks!

Employment-CorporateOne









My employer is in need of filling a position and I thought maybe the blog would be a good place to get the word out. If anyone is interested all they need to do is go to www.corporateone.coop -- "about us" -- "job opportunities" -- for more information and to apply. My name Amelia Eve should be used as the referral, HR pulls referred applicants before non-referred, so definitely beneficial. If anyone wanted to contact me directly about the job, I can be e-mailed, aeve@corporateone.coop.
I've also attached the complete job description, however, it is available on our website.
We're located in Polaris off of Gemini Place, are not for profit, and are financially stable (given the banking crisis).

What's for Dinner?






In a conscious effort to use our food storage to prepare economical and
nourishing meals I would like your feedback on how you used your
long-term and short-term food storage this week.

This is how we used ours for dinner (and leftovers for lunch) this week:

Multi-grain Blender Pancakes (utilizing whole wheat, buckwheat,rolled
oats and a little white flour)

Spanish Rice (utilizing rice and dehydrated onions)

Potato Asparagus Soup (utilizing potato pearls, dehydrated onions,
powdered milk)

Macaroni and Cheese (utilizing macaroni, powdered milk, white flour for
roux/thickening)

Chicken and Rice Soup (utilizing rice and dehydrated onions---we used
garden carrots but you could also use the storehouse dehydrated carrots)

Vegetarian Chili (utilizing pinto beans and dehydrated onions)

Homemade bread, rolls or biscuits would have been a nice accompaniment,
but these were 30 minute weekday meals made after work using the pressure
cooker
and microwave or planning ahead with the crockpot with no time to
bake. Perhaps Saturday is a good time for that!

Coming up so far for next week:

Shepherd's Pie (utilizing potato pearls for the topping and dehydrated
onions in the filling)

Vegetable Soup (utilizing dehydrated onions and a cup of cooked wheat
berries thrown in the pot for a protein boost---could use cooked macaroni
or rice instead)

Chicken or Beef Burritos (utilizing half whole wheat flour/half white
flour, rice, pinto beans and dehydrated onions)

Sante Fe Pizza (crust - utilizing half whole wheat flour/half white
flour; topping - utilizing refried beans and dehydrated onions)

Thanks in advance for your feedback,
Sister Dragoo
