Hope you are all doing well.

Yesterday, I had some Christmas leftovers to [...]

a vegetable platter: carrots, broccoli, celery and tomatoes with dip
a head of cabbage
a head of cauliflower
a container of [...]

Would I actually do this? No, mostly. If I happen to see something useful on top of a dumpster or trash can, or next to either, then I have no problem taking it. However, I am careful to be sure that nothing gross was touching it, and I can’t ever imagine getting into a dumpster.
