Oh, yes I did.
I actually used up all the leftovers in my fridge this week. Now, that's not to say that I didn't waste any food, because that would be a complete and utter fiction, but - unlike last week - what food that did get wasted was pretty minor (and cheap) compared to what did not.
For this, I am proud.
So what perfectly good food (er, previously perfectly good, anyway) did get thrown away to the faint sound of dollars being flushed down the garbage disposal that I do not have?
That would be a whole cucumber, a small amount of strawberries that got forgotten in the fridge, a teeny-tiny bit of cheese (smoked gouda, yuck), and a whole avocado. Boo. But on the other hand, none of it was Root Beer Pulled Pork, unlike this tragic week.
I also had two wizzled tomatoes, some dilled goat cheese, some cooked noodles, and some basil that were all well on their way to the trash can...until I put my cape on and rescued them by throwing them in a pan with some butter, onion, and garlic.
Wish I'd got the hang of that sooner.
Wish I'd got the hang of that sooner.
So here's my fridge this morning. And, yes, that's a bowl of rib drippings with congealed fat on top.
You're welcome.
