I wish that meant we didn't have any food waste, but, of course, that isn't the case. Sigh.
First, two weeks ago, I threw out a large amount of dill and about half a package of thyme. Usually, I'm pretty good about finding places to use leftover herbs, but the dill went bad way faster than I thought it would and I ran out of recipes to use with thyme. And then I forgot about it.
This past week we had to throw out some pasta with sauce that just never got eaten. With all the Thanksgiving leftovers, it got lost in the shuffle and just needed to go in the trash. I didn't get a picture, but it was only about a serving.
I'm happy to report that all of our Thanksgiving leftovers were eaten and so far I haven't wasted anything else! The refrigerator is empty, so I'm looking forward to a potential no waste week next week.
Did you waste any food this week?

ugh, i just tossed an entire container of grated parmesan cheese that i bought at some high-priced-fancy-schmancy place. it went bad in less than 3 weeks! of course, i tossed the receipt.
ReplyDelete*note to self: NEVER BUY GRATED CHEESE AGAIN!
Ha. Your pasta waste sounds exactly like my leek soup waste. Darn the holiday leftovers.
