Sometimes I buy stuff then don’t eat it
Forums:
And the “wife” gets angry with me normally it’s one of those boxes of lettuce.
It’s a bad habit that I need to break I was hoping to feel better about it by coming here and seeing if anyone else here has the same problem. Sometimes it happens with carrots too.

A functional earthworm bin
A functional earthworm bin can justify letting a few veggies go past their prime.
They like that stuff better when it's not too fresh.
No Citrus. Eggshells Good.

This. The gardens are rocking right now so I don't plan on buying any produce from here until October.

Read "Fall of Giants" by Ken
Read "Fall of Giants" by Ken Follett.
Access to food (or lack thereof) prior to and during WW1 is a big theme throughout the book.
The middle class and "up" in the U.S. is currently living in a bubble on this front.

But if it helps any, I still have that unopened yogurt in the fridge I "took for the road" from the La Quinta Inn where I stayed for the Phil show at Red Rocks.

Really. Going to the grocery store when you are hungry leads to over-buying.
Another trick we do is check the refrigerator and see what's in there and what might spoil soon. Then we look on line for recipes that call for those ingredients. Fun way to use what you have on hand while exploring new recipes. Of course, we aren't perfect and you sometimes get produce that will go from crispy fresh to mush in the blink of an eye. As long as its not really bad, the chickens get what we don't use.

When it gets this hot in
When it gets this hot in western Oregon, I lose my appetite, and the will to do anything except grilling outside (or eating out)... amazing how many pot roasts, casseroles, and other oven friendly meals get made in the winter, but during the summer, there's only one axiom;

I hear you. My partner has zero tolerance for heat and bans cooking in the house when it gets hot for days on end like this. We end up eating a lot of salads with fixings from the garden supplemented with pre-cooked proteins from New Seasons or stuff from the grill.
Sounds like the heat will finally break later this week!

Yep, I'll freeze up a lot of
Yep, I'll freeze up a lot of portions for the microwave too... but salads and sandwiches seems like the only way to survive. I'll grill up more than I need, then fridge or freeze the leftovers, slice up on salads, or wraps, etc. Looking forward to the cool down! Curious to see what towns will hit a records for most 90º days in a row (some might get there tomorrow, other's need weds, which isn't as likely)

My house stays 70 degrees 365 days of the year. A cook a ton on the grill during the summer but if I need to use the oven I'm not worried. No microwave in our house but we have a big ass central AC unit that keeps the people and dogs happy.

Today I'm eating soggy
Today I'm eating soggy parmesan cheese, "dill" grapes, soft pickles, bruised apples, and baby carrots - all leftovers from the road trip cooler.
Maybe I'm eating too much of the stuff that I buy...

lol.. I don't like to toss
lol.. I don't like to toss food but road trip/cooler food usual gets dumped. Way too much cross pollination. Thought i'd probably take the pickle juice and make pickled baby carrots. Maybe cook the apples down...

That’s an interesting take I’m going to have to use that in my next argument about this
“OH YEAH??? Well maybe YOU eat TOO MUCH of the stuff you buy!! Glutton!!”
Thanks I never remember the good stuff to say during an argument

We usually go to the local taqueria on the way to the grocery store.
Still stoned but not hungry.
One outta two ain't bad.

Guilty of letting boxed
Guilty of letting boxed lettuce and carrots spoil too. Cilantro is another biggie. Stuff turns to mush faster than I use it.
Having a garden with salad greens that I use as needed helps (but not this year!) and I never use the 'crisper' drawer in my fridge because out of sight means I'll forget stuff is in there until it's a mess. Carrots are cheap, t'hell with them.
