Wow, that's some tasty pie!

Chicken pot pie, peppery and nice, with a crust so close to perfect you can smell it from there.

Thank you, Alameda Pie Truck!

Lunch on the Library Steps

(titled with apologies to [livejournal.com profile] rosefox)
I had an excellent lunch today. Fresh tamales (they don't have to be heated), some string cheese (I'm still a kid a heart sometimes), and LA's fruit salad (I made the fruit salad, it's her family recipe).

How's this for a gut check?

U.S. Marines go hungry
The Iraq war has been the war fought on the cheap _ not enough body armor, not enough armor on vehicles, not enough night vision equipment.

It has been the war in which packages from back home have had to fill some crucial needs.

Now, we have chow call at the Greenwood Credit Union in Warwick, R.I. It's the latest in home-front intervention. It's partially in response to the unthinkable image of U.S. Marines approaching Iraqi citizens and asking for food because they do not have enough.
ATIUBS, I should like to learn more about this, because my first reaction is revulsion, dismay, and no small amount of anger.

Can someone please offer a reasonable explanation to this?

ETA: A cursory search has not yet turned up any confirming stories, but I'd really like to know the truth of this.
