I’m joining a challenge from The Frugal Girl to waste less food by posting a photo each Friday of the food that went bad that week. The bottom of this jar had a tiny spot of mold on it. This has NEVER happened in our 16 years together. Spaghetti and tomato sauce is one of my husband’s favorite meals, he sometimes eats it two or three times a week. I think if he were single, he’d eat it five times a week (and pizza the rest of the time).
So this is really surprising. The only thing I can figure out is that he was so focused on the “Eat Me!” section of the refrigerator I’ve created, that he actually forgot to eat anything else. Because it was our only food waste this week. You can read more about the “Eat Me!” fun and games here.
I guess that’s not too bad, but I think I’ll continue the practice of having less food in the refrigerator so we won’t forget about it. I skipped the weekly shopping this week and bought only milk and bananas and lettuce so I’m hoping we won’t have anything to photograph next week.
