\"FoodWasteFriday<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve been reading The Frugal Girl for a while now. I’ve even read back over several years of archives. I agree with many of her principles, including wasting less, spending less and making the most of what you have. With this in mind, I want to introduce her meme – Food Waste Friday. The idea is that you post pictures of food items that have had to be tossed out over the week.<\/p>\n

I’m not so good at remembering to take photos of food before tossing it (particularly when it’s smelly). So you’ll just have to put up with some words.<\/p>\n

Undoubtedly, someone else in my household has also tossed things this week as I’m not the sole user of our fridge, but hopefully there isn’t too much waste going on.<\/p>\n

I’ve tossed:<\/p>\n

2 hard boiled eggs that I brought for Eli’s\u00a0and my lunch, but instead of being eaten, they ended up sitting at room temperature all day. Then I was too afraid to eat them.<\/p>\n

Some leftover cucumber seeds. We made cucumber ‘boats’ from our home-grown cucumbers, and scraped out the seeds, but then couldn’t put all the seeds back in as filling.<\/p>\n

Hopefully I won’t be directly responsible for any more waste next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
