Meet Irene! Hello, everyone! This article was submitted by Irene, a very kind woman who wanted to share her positive experiences with October Kitchen. We were very touched and hope you enjoy it! –The October Kitchen Team
Since I’ve retired, I keep busy. Meetings, gardening and reading take up most of my days, and crochet and other fiber crafts take up my TV-watching hours. I also travel and do some volunteer work. My friends and I gather for dinners out and some lunches. It seems my life revolves around meals, food and where that next meal will be from. Friends tease me that I haven’t used my oven since I bought it. (I have, but not often.) One of the burners on the stove gets used often, and I have lots of microwave time. I normally cook for myself, and I do a lot of direct from the freezer-to- plate-to-microwave. I can cook, but I don’t feel like bothering to cook for just one. About two years ago, a friend told me about October Kitchen. I’m pretty sure she even drove me there. So, I started driving there on my own after visiting the Manchester Senior Center. I was shopping from the cases and going at least once a month. Then COVID-19 and the quarantine happened. Luckily, October Kitchen could deliver to my door. But even better, they would bring bags out to my car. I put in an order about every other week. I order from the weekly special, freezer specials and the freezer favorites. I always order a salad and add to it so it lasts several days. I gave up on grocery delivery — too many problems — and started to do early-bird shopping (6:30–7:30 a.m.) for the things like milk, yogurt, cheese and fruit that I need beyond October Kitchen’s offerings. Now that the quarantine is mostly over, I can now step into the store for the “surprise” items on the chalkboard and in the refrigerator case. I often pick up a second salad. I do October Kitchen dinners for 10–14 nights, lunches of salad, plus whatever is in the fridge. I still do everything else except travel, but that will be coming back soon. I’ve even heard that Manchester Senior Center will be reopening soon. October Kitchen is my new normal.
