No Waste Tastes Great 16 September 2011
It's Friday Guys - time for No Waste Tastes Great There's no doubt this week I kept my 'Eye On The Prize', there wasn't a day where I wasn't inspecting the fridge and checking out what was to be used up in anticipation of No Waste Tastes Great.

Not emergency trips to the Dentist this week ...
