This was our food waste this week. The thing that looks like moldy, puffed-up naan bread is actually squash. I found it last weekend when it wasn’t that moldy, but saved it in case anything else turned up. Yuck. The tahini had no “best by” date, was so separated that it couldn’t be shaken back into a uniform consistency, and I don’t even remember when I bought it. So it’s NG. I’m planning on scooping that out and saving the jar. Does anyone know if it’s okay to throw tahini in the compost bin? And the lime was in a bag in the refrigerator with others that are fine, so I don’t know what went wrong with it.
We had one of those weeks of constantly changing plans and actually ended up going out and/or having to meet people several times, so I didn’t do much cooking. And I’m going to have to work really hard to use up all of our CSA produce so that it doesn’t go bad next week.
I’m short on time, so here’s the scoop: waste less food and you’ll not only save money, you’ll help save the planet. Find out more at Wasted Food and The Frugal Girl.
