We're doing better on that than we used to, but there is a worm bin in the basement if things go badly. Might be fun for you if you want to make a soil amendment.

That's almost as much milk as in our refrigerator.

I get the mixed spring greens salad in a bag, and then one day I noticed this huge tub of the same mix over at the end of the cooler for only about 30% more, but containing 3 times the weight of salad.
So now we buy the tub, and the greens are packed in it so tightly that you can make two salads for the entire family and the greens left in the tub expand to fill the space and make it look like the tub is still full. And it is! We have big salads every night for around 5-6 days, and I sometimes put a handful of greens on my sandwich for liunch, and still we end up throwing out the last dregs of the tub because they go bad. But I don't feel bad because you get so many more meals out of the tub for less overall cost. I also recently read the nutrition label of my favorite salad dressing, a creamy ceasar, and now we make our own balsamic vinaigrette. Seriously, it's remarkable how incredibly bad that creamy ceasar dressing is for you. It's all part of my attempt to eat more healthy food and exercise more. We're having a big salad with every dinner now, and if I'm still hungry after eating dinner, instead of loading up on seconds of the pasta or whatever, I serve myself up a huge pile of salad. |

As someone who's obsessively read labels for years, I have to say I'm not surprised about your Creamy Caesar decision.
Until I was in my early 20s I believed I was making healthy salad choices when I ate out. There were probably less calories and fat in the cheese laden pizza I was having as a main meal than in my side salad ![]() Mum's big issue at the moment is sugar. She's horrified at how much she's been consuming whilst eating low calorie and low fat options. Read the labels, Ma. When I caved in and went back to McDonalds after months and months of only eating home-prepared food I nearly gagged at how sweet the burger bun and ketchup were. I say nearly. I got over it. It's still a rarity for me now though. Shame, I used to enjoy my little payday treat.

The worst thing about that is the Weightwatcher's own brand stuff (and others of its ilk). People buy it because it's already set up with the points system. But most of it is actually more fattening than the stuff it replaces, and laden with sugars of all sorts.

I assume you already had bread at home, right? Or do you eat the lunchmeat and cheese in some other configuration? Tony, your single egg on the shelf makes me cringe with danger. How can it not fall? |

Oh yeah. Lots of bread at home. A couple loaves in the freezer and a couple on deck in the pantry. We go through 4 loaves a week, and get both a wheat bread and a rye/pumpernickel swirl.
Edit: That was lamb in your picture? I figured it wasn't beef, but the color looked a bit like ground pork. |

![]() I would kill for my fridge to be that uncluttered. I bet there is literally 50 bottles/jars of various condiments, and prolly a dozen different jars of the same kind of damnable pickle in my fridge.

Clod, are you taking classes? For some reason, I'm thinking that you're getting your nursing degree.
