These darn greens keep getting me! Last week it was a bit of lettuce and this week it’s a bit of spinach. It really truly is only a bit(I got up close with my camera, so it looks like more than it is!). The spinach doesn’t look terrible, but there is a funky smell coming off of it, and I don’t think I’m brave enough to eat it.
I got a bit behind with eating the spinach this week(I had to hastily deal with almost a whole bag), so I’m actually sort of pleased that I only wasted this tiny bit…it could have been much worse!

I use to think my mother was crazy, but have since picked up on her technique for drying lettuce. I have a small kitchen and refrain from purchasing anything else to store (such as a salad spinner). I would find my mother in the center of the kitchen, with a head of lettuce in a plastic bag at arms length. She would spin the bag vigorously in circles forcing the water into the bottom of the bag. She would then cut a tiny corner off of the bottom of the bag and drain out all of the liquid. A fresh, clean kitchen towel placed insided absorbed the remaining moisture.

Hey there, long time lurker but submitted something this time. Sorry there's no pictures of the actual waste, but I did snap a shot of what I managed to save from our shockingly wasteful freshman seminar buffet.
I wanted to make the point that while all of us doing our best to not waste at home, it's only a tiny slice of the pie compared to the waste that goes on inside institutions and companies.
Keep up the good writing, and congrats on being an inspiration for many!
