Here it goes for this week.
We had some "out-of-sight, out-of-mind" waste and some "I don't like it, but I don't want to tell you" waste.

| Yogurt with a sell by date of June 2, 2011 |
The first thing to hit the trash this week was a container of yogurt that got shoved to the back of the refrigerator. It slowly aged almost two months past the sell by date on top with no one noticing. I did a little googling and found that yogurt is okay to keep two weeks past the sell by date, but two months is a little too long.
The next was some homemade hummus. My son, Theodore, has been experimenting with hummus recipes and the last one was okay, but not really a favortie of anyone. Since a lot of effort went into making it, we ate a little, but didn't have the heart to throw it away. However, we waited long enough, that the fuzzy mold took care of our problem.

Next week, we need to be eating potatoes, or you will be seeing unappetizing pictures of rotten potatoes. (Good thing they haven't figured out smell-o-gram pictures yet.) My goal is to spare all of you from that. Wish me luck!
