Food Waste Friday: Away From Home

It's time for...




FoodWasteFriday



Hello from Oklahoma!

Our family is on vacation this week, in Oklahoma for my younger brother's college graduation.
My parents flew in from Washington State and we're having a wonderful time just enjoying each other's company and the big graduation is tomorrow!

On the food waste front, things haven't been quite so happy-
We wasted almost an entire package of lunch meat because it was un-refrigerated for over 24 hours and we figured it wouldn't be a good idea to still eat it.
I also threw away half of a delicious burrito and some rice and beans leftover from a visit to a local Mexican restaurant for the same reason. I'm pretty bummed too because that was a good burrito!

Lastly, one of the apples I bought from Aldi before we left for our trip got smashed and bruised and mealy. And the kids' didn't quite finish two more apples.

Here's a picture of that icky apple- you're welcome. :)



That's all though! It's not as bad as I feared, thankfully.

How did you do this week??
