I was so hoping it would be a no-waste week, but I think my expectations on what I can and can’t eat in a week are still a little high. My fridge is still full of leftovers because of some unplanned lunches (out for a birthday and a drug rep brought lunch to work) and an impromptu movie date with my mom (we saw Country Strong, which I highly recommend). I still have some lentils leftovers (that’s what’s for lunch), some pasta with spinach cream sauce (that will be my dinner), and I also found some soup from last week hiding in the back this morning. I haven’t checked it yet, so I may end up having to add it to this week’s food waste.
Despite having all these leftovers, the only thing I actually have to throw away is the last bit of the lemon vinaigrette. I made it on Sunday and it just didn’t look right this morning, so down the drain it went. Hopefully, nothing else will go bad and this can be a fairly light waste week.

I'd say that's a very respectable week. Go you!
ReplyDeleteHmm... I had to throw out about 1/3 c. of curry rice. TFH brought that dish to work, and came home with 1/3 C. OF CURRY RICE. I'm all for stopping eating when you aren't hungry, but really?By the time I saw it, it was too late.
ReplyDeleteAlso need to keep an eye on homemade bread and some apricots... can you eat apricots fresh? I've only ever had them dried (fail).
