Food Waste, 1/22/10


It was not a good food waste week for us. I would call it a stupid food waste week.

We had every intention of eating the broccoli, but we never made the meal it was intended for because our other meals stretched further than we thought they would. Then we went out of town for three days, and when we went to cook it on Tuesday, well, it wasn't good any more.

The muffin was one I left out to eat; the rest went in the freezer. Somehow it was pushed to the back of the refrigerator, and it wasn't found until yesterday.

The spaghetti sauce was open over 2 months ago for pizza. We should have used it for spaghetti before it went bad.

Quite an unsuccessful food waste week. Hopefully next week will be better.

I'm just as guilty when it comes to things like broccoli which is why I've taken to chopping up the broccoli right when I get it home, dropping it in boiling water for a couple minutes, then draining and freezing. Then I can use it when I need it.

Thanks for the tip. I will have to try it next time.
