Farmer H is always getting freebies. I know I don't have to prove it to you. You've heard plenty about his hauls here and on my not-so-secret blog. He's always showing up with something. Like Thursday evening, when I saw him taking four little styrofoam containers with lids out of a plastic bag, to put in FRIG II.
"What's that?"
"I got us some banana pudding!"
Well. That's just what he told me. Turns out he had a little more that he didn't mention. That being some peanut butter cookies, four, I think, each in a waxed-paper envelope. I only noticed because I saw him surreptitiously grabbing something off the cutting block, after I heard the rustling of the waxed paper. AND when I cleaned off the kitchen table for our Labor Day grill-out, I found two of them. Heh, heh. I just ate one. It was pretty tasty, even though a bit overdone. Just let Farmer H complain! Then I'll raise the question of "How was I supposed to know, you never mentioned any cookies to ME!"
Anyhoo... on Thursday night, after supper, Farmer H opened up FRIG II.
"Don't forget the pudding! There's four of them."
"I saw them. I figured we'd each have two. One tonight and one tomorrow."
"I got mine right here."
When I looked, Farmer H was holding a big styrofoam container, like he brings home a sandwich or something meaty from the Senior Center. Which is where the pudding came from.
"Wait. I thought that was some kind of main course."
"Nope. It's my banana pudding!"
Huh. Looks like there's more Farmer H didn't tell me...

Did he bring home a giant serve for himself or did that big container also have four small containers in it? He's a sneaky one!
River,
He should have an unflattering song about him! Like that mean one, Mr. Grinch. "You're a sneaky one Farmer H..."
It was one large container of banana pudding. Nothing individual for him. I ate three of the others, one per evening, until that third one gave me a quite non-tasty bite. I guess the banana was going bad. I told Farmer H about it, and said I saved the last one for him. He ate it anyway, and confirmed that the banana was off. Heh, heh! Who's sneaky NOW???
At least I found (in plane sight on the kitchen table) two of his four cookies, and devoured them. I even left one of them on the cutting block overnight, but he didn't take it, so I figured it was fair game.
I like what you did there :)
River,
I find ways to retaliate!
Funny, he was willing to share the small portions of pudding and he shared the cookies in his own secret way ...
Kathy,
Farmer H always offers to share his freebies with me, except for those cookies! I don't mind, he's the one out there being charming to get stuff given to him.
