I do actually have some waste this week…it’s a little bowl of lettuce. I could certainly have managed to eat this, but it got shoved into the back of the refrigerator behind some other things, and I just didn’t remember it was there until it was too late. This was very preventable, but I had a busy week and my fridge just got out of control(I’m surprised I didn’t lose more things in the back of the fridge!).
Happily, it’s all organized now, and I spent some time on Wednesday dealing with some about-to-go-bad produce. I juiced a bunch of oranges, made tomato sauce from some wrinkly tomatoes, and made applesauce from apples that weren’t exactly beacons of freshness anymore.

I lost some beautiful asparagus this week. I lost it under a pile of other veggies, and when my boyfriend rmeembered and asked me to cook it, it'd already gone off. Such a sad loss!

a small bit of lettuce isn't bad; is it. That darn stuff goes off so quickly. We planted some today, so let's hope we don't get any food waste throughout the summer of salad items :)
