As our food-stamp experience proceeds to its conclusion on Sunday, I have found myself feeling guilty. While this may seem strange to many, the reason is actually quite simple. Now that the finish line is in sight, I realize how excited I am for Monday and a return to my normal life. I think about how much I look forward to going out to dinner again, having a drink, eating dessert. Only a few more days until I can go back to my usual routine. That should be easy enough. Hang in there.

Neil Dubovsky: Food stamp challenge – healthy options a luxury (access required)

Litigator Neil Dubovsky and his family are taking the food-stamp challenge this week. They spent most of the grocery money this weekend, but kept a cushion in case they need more later.

Yesterday was the first day of our food stamp challenge, so we used the weekend to finalize our preparations. We created a list in which we calculated the number of meals we thought we would need for the week and the anticipated cost. Fortunately, we were able to buy everything for $70, about $5 under our allotted budget. That gives us a $20-$25 budget “cushion” in the event our initial food purchase does not last the entire week.

Maryland Moment – Marking Memorial Day

A “Field of Flags” was installed by residents of the Charlestown retirement community in Catonsville in preparation for Memorial Day. Each of the 500 flags was sponsored by a local business for $35, with proceeds going to the Wounded Warrior Project and the Charlestown Benevolent Care Fund. Photo submitted by Mel Tansill.
