No kidding! Oh well. I did freeze two other peppers yesterday, since they were starting to go soft on me.

Too bad the peppers didn’t make it into the freezer before going moldy!

I’ll be glad to post the sweet potato muffin recipe. I’ll take pictures next time I make them.

MomtoGirls-I’d be thrilled to have you join us!

Angela, I thought about that, but this potato was mushy and had moldy spots on it. I’ve planted potatoes before when they were old and wrinkly and sprouting, but this one didn’t seem like it would grow. Then too, it’s about to freeze here, so I’d have trouble growing it right about now.

So, it’s composting instead.

Sadly, a celery root I was going to make into soup- waited too long and it got mushy.
Hard to stick with THE PLAN every single day…

I remember when I had a sweet potato go bad, which was a rare occurence, and a lot of people said I should stick it in the ground (plant it).

This is a great idea. Being new to your blog, I don’t have any waste to report. I’m sure I’ve tossed a bit already this week. I will clean my fridge next Friday with this in mind.( I do it once a week anyway). I’m so excited to share this idea with my husband and girls.
Thanks

Half a bag of spinach over this way. Which is a pity, because I have about 10 things i’d like to cook with it now. Looks like soup in a bag.. ew!

We lost a couple of bites of a cereal bar which DD couldn’t eat. I made her write the food waste blog post LOL!

I lost 4 ears of corn to mould, and discovered a half a loaf of very old, uneaten Persian sweet bread. I had no idea that was even still in the house!
