My hat is off the freegans. It is a lifestyle that I could never follow, but certainly admire. Maybe I could support a freegan or two?
My cabinets are dark and deep. My fridge is tangled with baking soda, lettuce and too many bottled drinks. I loose food all of the time.
Sitting in the front of my pantry are the easy to grab kids snacks like brown rice cakes, sunflower seeds and FruitaBu to name a few. Behind the healthy/easy kids snacks hides the rest of the dry goods type of food. The rice, muffin mix, bread crumbs and raisins may never see daylight. I need to find a way not to let this food spoil and be wasted.
The fridge situation is even more dire than the pantry. If I could come up with a creative way to use 1/4 of a can of whipped cream leftover from Christmas, a cup of chicken stock, lettuce, two eggs and whatever else is growing in there then I would be a total Martha. Don't even mention the leftovers. Why can't I get anyone in this house, including me, to eat the leftovers? All of that food will go to waste. Every time I make a trip to the compost bin with wilted veggies I feel a pang of guilt.
Please help me get the word out to all of the freegans in Connecticut. Feel free to come raid my fridge. I'm trying my best. I know that you can be more creative than me.
You have already seen a photo of my freezer. Why not the pantry too.
