Food Waste Friday | Wait a minute, that’s not moldy.

Every week, I post a picture of the food that has gone bad over the last seven days. Why do I do this? Because in March of 2008, I finally got fed up with the amount of food I was wasting, and I thought that showing my waste to other people would motivate me to use up my food instead of wasting it. Because this often embarrassing practice was so helpful for me, I invited other bloggers to join me in posting their food waste photos, and Food Waste Friday was born.

So, I cleaned out my fridge and found these two things….some soup and half an orange.

But when I opened up the orange container, I realized that the orange was not, after all, bad. It was hidden in the back of the fridge by one of my offspring, and I’d just assumed it was rotten.

I ate it instead of composting it. Excellent.

Just mentally remove the pyrex container from that photo, ok?
