Just so you know, the can of black beans is not waste..it’s merely there for perspective. 
I keep taking close-up shots of my little containers of food waste, which makes said containers appear much larger than they really are, and so I thought a can of beans for comparison would be helpful.
The noodles were growing some really interesting mold, which happened because some unorganized house wife (read: me) put them in a place she never puts leftovers: the door of the fridge. It was a small container and it somehow went unnoticed for two weeks, which means that I should have found this last week and included it with the carrots.
So, I didn’t technically waste anything this week…it’s just lost waste from last week.

Here is my food waste for the week. It is getting better, especially since after this week I decided not to buy any more sour cream at the store!

Everywhere I look Mr. Linky is having problems. Must be time for Mrs. Linky to fix things.
Like you I am really just claiming old waste. The new stuff are some great ideas (by others) on how to avoid the waste. 75 ideas for leftovers?! Really? http://tinyurl.com/foodwaste5
Kristen, I was thinking of you as I wrote a section on non-kneaded bread making. Apparently I wasn’t alone in that thought last night!

I thought that I wasn’t going to have any waste this week. Then I looked at the very back of the top shelf…

I really like your little containers – glass with plastic lid? Where did you get those?
Food waste boils down to:
Food. Store correctly. Not too long.

Mrs. Linky to the rescue! @calimama
I just posted my ugly photo- not too bad- only a bit of greens and some old canned white beans. Going for zero next week!

Wahee! After my dreadful week last week I have redeemed myself with zero food waste.
