Food Waste Friday / A Clean Slate

Each week since March 2008, in order to motivate her to waste less food, Kristen The Frugal Girl, has posted a picture of any food that has gone bad over the last seven days. She found this embarrassing practice so helpful, to her, that she invited other bloggers to post their own photos, and Food Waste Friday was born.

I started participating in October 2010 and have found, 4-years on, the amount of food I waste is minimal. Every Friday, as part of my No Waste Tastes Great routine, I account for all my potential food waste as well as confessing to any items that I failed to save.

Kristen kindly asked me to host Food Waste Friday, alternate weeks and her initial invite for everyone to join in is cordially extended here!

Normal service resumes this weeks folks.

I’m able to photograph my fridge, and follow my Friday routine.

Let’s take a look inside!

A few odds and ends hanging around, like stuffing and clotted cream. A strange combination, and left over from a lunch earlier this week.

I think I know what to do with the clotted cream though.

There’s no waste here today.

I’m starting from a clean slate once more.

Back on my feet and raring to go.

In fact we celebrated with a doughnut earlier – now that The Wright’s are mobile once more.

Those of you who participate in Food Waste Friday can now grab a fancy-schmancy button to perk up your posts. If you copy and paste the following code into your Food Waste Friday post, this little graphic will appear.”

If you blog on WordPress, just make sure you’re in html mode when you copy and paste the code, or it won’t work
