Food Waste Friday--February 24, 2012

It's time for Food Waste Friday, when the Frugalgirl encourages us to post pictures from the previous week of wasted food from our household. This accountability hopefully will help us to be more careful with our food and maybe save some money. 

Here it goes for this week.

We had no food waste this week. Yea! During my refrigerator clean up, I found a couple of things with a short shelf life, but nothing was ready for the trash can. Since I have no food pictures, I thought I would show my cross stitch of the this old saying, "Use it up, Wear it out, Make it do, Do without." Food Waste Friday certainly embodies these ideals.

Theodore and

The Logic of a Six-year Old

"Mama, I need more practice lying."
"Why?"
"I need to practice for when a robber comes into the house. If he asks me if I have something worth stealing, I want to be able to lie and say, "No," and have him believe me. That's why I need a lot of practice lying--so I can be ready for a robber."

A Second Look--February 22, 2012

During my Second Look around the yard this week, I was uninspired except for the golf ball I found. So I decided to come inside and take a second look at the flowers Ward gave me for Valentines Day.
