And people with dogs, chickens, or pigs hardly waste anything! <br /><br />And yes, it's never worth taking a chance on something that might make you sick, in my opinion.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16599239118658166008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7718743594504287977.post-35737934568531549192010-06-04T14:11:09.718-07:002010-06-04T14:11:09.718-07:00I've read your blog a few times and yes, becau...I've read your blog a few times and yes, because of you i make a mental list of the food waste i have.<br /><br />Most of it gets composted, so i don't feel too bad about wasting some of it, although i do try for zero waste each week.<br /><br />This week, i have some leftover olive tapenade that has a date with the compost bin. It might still be all right to eat, but i got food poisoning once from eating two bad black olives. Took me years to eat any black olives after that. So i'm erring on the side of safety and tossing about 2 ounces of the tapenade. The jar will be recycled.<br /><br />I have rib bones that i'm tossing into the garbage. I had hoped to give them to a dog, but the dog's owner said no. I have them in the fridge, ready for the trash when i go to the dump. Didn't want them reeking to high heaven while they were waiting for me to make a dump run. Although i guess that doesn't technically count as food waste, as I've eaten all the meat i can from the bone, just don't have a doggie to give the bones to.<br /><br />meganAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
