‘Stone soup’: B.C. woman reflects on stretching food dollars amid high inflation
Both a single parent and now a senior, she also spent decades in work focused on immigrant and family development services, running a variety of parent and family support groups throughout the Lower Mainland.
When she ran parent groups, ‘Stone Soup’ was always a feature. Originating from a folk tale, Stone Soup is when everyone brings a small amount of food to share, which turns into a substantial meal for everyone. Gray said she understood the social services system but didn’t know all the ins and outs of accessing needed services.Information circulated, like who to talk to and at what time. Also where coupons and sales could be found, which orchards had fruit to be gleaned, or which farm had extra corn.Gray said volunteering is also a great way to get to know people and gain ‘systems information’ on how to access food and other resources. Plus you get whatever perks the agency offers.
She said almost any sauce can go over potatoes and rice. Her son loved baked potatoes, so she might combine a cheese sauce and broccoli. Or tomato and hamburger sauce.
