I had another bad food waste week. We had company, so the food that I cooked before they arrived was pushed to the back of the refrigerator and not found until we ate our way through the food in front. I did think about freezing the pulled pork and spaghetti, but convinced myself that the children would eat it for lunch. Which they would have if we had been home, but we ended up doing activities that took us away from home at lunch time. This week’s waste is particularly painful, because the food had to be thrown out rather than composted (which eases the pain somewhat). Here is what I had to toss:

Oh
sorry to hear about your week. At least this food was in your mind a lot of the time; perhaps you can see that as an improvement from a while back, when you wouldn't have even thought about it.
I find that routine really helps, and like you, if people turn up or activities outside the home take place it can really take its toll on the food waste issue.
Next week will be better
