Is All Food Waste Bad? What’s wrong with food waste?
I have many ideas how to prevent food waste, from using vegetable scraps and bones to make broth, to cooking watermelon rind and using up citrus rinds to make candy and jams. I even use spoiled milk to make pancakes and banana peels to make chutney. From the impression I give off here, you’d probably […]
Menu Plan Monday- In Retrospect
My first week of my “no shop as long as I’ll be able to manage it, with the goal of 2+ months” challenge has gone by quickly, and by request, I’m sharing what we ate, or, the menu- in retrospect. This past week, I supplemented the food in our house by foraging mallow, wild mustard, […]

Shopping Trip- February 1st, 2011
The last grocery trip I posted about was made on December 28th, exactly 5 weeks ago today. On that shopping trip, I spent more money than I would have liked to spend- 192 dollars! Because of the large monetary outlay I made, I was determined to make that food last as long as possible. I […]
