Use it up!

I've been pondering this because we throw away so much food! Not just produce, but chicken, steak tips, haddock. I think it's often because the package of whatever is too big for us and the leftovers often go to waste. I think one thing we need to do is portion up and freeze some of the animal protein we buy, and then take out and defrost as needed. Unfortunately, we're not very good at managing freezer contents either. We kind of suck at this food thing. We're in our mid-sixties, maybe we'll figure it out someday . . .
I wish our friend who grapples with food insecurity lived close enough to come by and have dinner with us!

Honey, you need a dog.

with us the very few bits that go bad can usually be consumed by a dog. I had a small bag of turkey that was at the back of the refrigerator and it was slimy, so I didn’t want to eat it, but boy that was perfectly fine for our dog. Their little systems are built for scavenging so they can scarf down too old food and be fine.
