Food Waste Friday
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.

To all my FWF participants....the Mister Linky Widget is having some issues, to say the least, and so we can't operate quite like we usually do. However, you can still participate (and still get a spot on my blogroll for another week) by leaving a comment with a link to your food waste post.
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!

No food waste AGAIN this week! Here's the link: http://budgetconfessions.blogspot.com/2009/05/food-waste-friday_29.html
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.
Here is my post and well done to everyone else too! You are such an inspiration, Kristen:
