Another great product from Cincopa Send Files. I’m often asked how we feed a family of seven on a teacher’s income without the “benefits” of government subsidies. Day in, day out, we use the same ingredients: rice or pasta, beans, onions, sometimes garlic, bell peppers, maybe celery, broccoli, and/or carrots. Dad roasts a chicken, which feeds us for a couple of days.

Another great product from Cincopa Send Files. The children on on our street don’t come to play anymore. They pass by our house on their way to other neighbors. I’m not upset by that.
