Food Waste
This wasn’t my best week ever regarding the food waste. Sigh. Starting from the left, there are two partial bags of cilantro(why, oh, why can you not just buy the amount you need??), a few pieces of pizza, a bit of salad, some cream(that was stupid…raw cream from the farm is worth a lot!), some grape tomatoes, half a lemon, and a bit of Hibachi Chicken and Shrimp.
I’ve been wasting entirely too much cream lately…I skim it off, have fabulous plans for it, and never execute. So, this week I skimmed it off, and two days later I made some Cinnamon Swirl Cream Biscuits from Cooks Illustrated’s website. Yay me! I have a teeny bit left which I will throw into a smoothie at lunch time.
On the other hand, I had some successes this week. I used part of a large can of diced tomatoes to make some Shrimp Pizzas, which left me with a large portion. However, I used them to make some tomato sauce for a deep dish pizza, so they’re not going to mold in my fridge. Also, I had one egg white sitting in my fridge and I used that to make some frosting for the cinnamon biscuits. And lastly, I dropped an egg earlier in the week, but I scooped it up and saved it. Yesterday when I was making hamburger buns, I actually remembered that the egg was in a bowl in the fridge, and I used it in the dough. So, I’m not a complete and utter failure. =P

I LOVE your blog and I am going through and reading it from the beginning! You said you have a lot of cream. My mom used to freeze the cream we got off fresh milk and it was fine to use later. Just an FYI….
