Food waste photo from vacation
Yep, I took one even on vacation! I shopped carefully and tried to eat wisely over the course of the week, but I just made too much pizza and too many pizza bagels. We had some other groceries left, but I packed them in the cooler to bring home. The cooler didn’t [...]

Food waste photo-9.12
I wasted two things this week. In the bag are some beans from my mom’s garden. She has graciously assured me that these do not need to count towards my food waste total, since they can be sent back to the dirt from whence they came. But, I’m harder on myself than [...]

…is that they don’t have very discriminating palates. They seem to be oblivious to flat soda or stale crackers, they don’t mind eating little bits of leftover breads and muffins, and they aren’t put off by the broken bits at the bottom of cracker boxes.

The first picture is a bit of lettuce, and some [...]

Food waste and green smoothies
Here’s what I wasted in addition to the beans I posted about earlier. It’s about 1/4 cup of green onions and 4 apple slices. The green onions are just the tail end of a bunch I bought a couple of weeks ago. While I wish I’d managed to use them all, I [...]

I am so disgusted.
It’s only Monday, and already my hopes for a no-waste week have been dashed. Oh, the pain!
I opened a can of beans last week to use on our Shrimp Taco Salad, and Lisey and I(we’re the only one who eat beans!) ate a fair amount of them then. Some other day last [...]
