Free Groceries and Bar Work

So, it's been a few days now, i ought to update.
i'm in a sandwich shop now, free wi-fi. Last weekend, early before garbage pick-up, i visited a grocery store on Queen-Mary and pulled about 70$ worth of groceries from the dumpster. Lots of veggies--i found five bags of endives, which are going out of season, i gather; i found apples; bananas and carrots; some green onions and bean sprouts; sliced mushrooms and red peppers; some salad dressing and some juice; i found bags and bags of chocolate bars and nuts. i prepared a stir-fry the following afternoon and it was delicious. Most of the chocolate was eaten by my extended family while i was staying-over at some other friends' home. a very good haul, i plan to return this weekend if i'm in the area...
In other news: i've found some hours at a downtown bar. i'm cooking. yesterday i helped prepare the terrace for the beautiful weather and was paid, in part, with a free pitcher of beer. That was good. My friend Shedt's brother is bumming around like me, and we bought some booster cables from Canadian Mo'Fo', jump started the car, and returned to Canadian Mo'Fo' for the refund. Returned a few other things as well. We went into the store and found some items he had on a receipt from much earlier, and we returned those new items for the cash. Smoked lots of pot and we went driving. Lots of fun. Met some nice people in the St.Henri area. Always good to meet people. Especially nice people.
I actually stayed in St.Henri last night with LiLi and her husband Rich. She brought me some muffins that her cafe was tossing. This morning I walked with her to work. She opened the kitchen and fed me some gourmet coffee and a muffin. Now I'm just waiting around to go to work this evening. Plan on hanging around this shop for a good long time. I can't pass up this wi-fi opportunity!
