Food Waste Friday

I’ve been putting off cleaning out the fridge for a while because I knew it was going to be bad.  And it is.  🙁

First up were the mushrooms I trashed earlier this week.  I didn’t get a picture, but they were super shriveled and were giving off quite a stink.  There was maybe only 1/2 cup left so it wasn’t too awful, but I still hated to see them go.

Next we have what I cleaned out today:

Some leftover dip that I had been ignoring for a month or so, some corn muffins I forgot to freeze and now they are a lost cause, a good bit of watermelon that never tasted good in the first place and started to ferment, and a few raspberries that got really moldy really fast.

In danger of going bad are some grapes and baby carrots.  I need to eat those up fast!

What did you waste this week?

I do the same thing… Like if I ignore it, it will magically disappear?

Could have been worse. Now you have a clean slate to work with.
