Periodically, because it's good household management but usually because we're in a budget crunch, I go on a campaign to eat the food that we have. Those items that have gotten pushed to the back of the pantry or freezer. Anyone else have this issue? I consider it the fat corn years intended to supply the lean corn ears (see Genesis, the story of Joseph and Pharoah), but just like the biblical story, it takes some creative management.
I'm going to keep a journal, hopefully during the entire month of July, of my own efforts to economize as I clean and organize my food. My journey is happening in 2014, a time when Americans waste about 25% of what we buy (see newstory here). That's appalling, but it easy to do. When my culture fails this way, it pains me. When I am too lazy to eat the rest of the spaghetti sauce in my frig, hey, what do you know about my life? Stay off my back.
THIS JOURNAL HAS BEEN MOVED TO A BLOG OF ITS OWN: VISIT! SUBSCRIBE! To Eat What You Have.
