It’s Friday Guys! It’s time for
No Waste Tastes Great
Fridays I take a little time first thing to strip down the fridge and perishables cupboard, clean both of them, take note of anything that needs replenishing, return any items back to the fridge leaving what needs using up on the counter.

So what is sitting on the counter in anticipation this week?
This week I have 5 apples… and absolutely nothing else…
Quickly peeled and thickly chopped, coated in a little sugar and popped in ‘Brenda’ my Vegetarian Slow Cooker topped with hot water, they will in a couple of hours be ready to freeze and kept for a nice apple sauce in the future.
As we were away last weekend I didn’t do a weekly shop and all week have been using up store cupboard ingredients to feed the family.
How’s your fridge looking this week? Anyone want to confess to food waste? Or redeem themselves by commenting on what they are going to do with their leftovers?
I’m sorry this post is a little harsh on the eye! It is of course RED WHITE & BLUE in honour of the Happy Couple.
Many Congratulations to William and Kate!
That’s a great idea for the rotting apples Jo! I’ve missed your weekly fridge reports. 🙂
I have some darn lettuce that wilted again. This is the second time in a month this has happened. I guess we’re just not eating enough salad lately.
I can’t get my head around lettuce at all, and very rarely buy it!! You have to eat a lot I believe for it to contribute nutritionally, and is such a large foodstuff it takes up a lot of room in the fridge, If cut then it deteriorates quickly so hard to pre prepare. All the characteristics of a foodstuff that doesn’t appeal to me. Oh and the amount of washing you have to do to it – obscene! However probably if I lived in a warmer climate I’d eat it more! We are only just weaning off casseroles at the mo as the weather improves! I did have some watercress the other day – but can’t say it suited my taste-buds particularly! 🙂

Yes, congratulations to the happy couple! I LOVED watching the whole thing early this morning. And Jo, I was thinking of you!
Hi R – I was very proud! We headed off to Big Sis’ for a ‘Choosing Lunch’ and waved flags! Had two spritzers by 1pm to celebrate! It was lovely the kids joined in, I remember clearly just being a little older than Leah when Charles and Diana married and what we did as a family so hopefully yesterday will be a memory for life. 🙂
