A lot more than I am happy with this week, mostly due to not following my meal plan with DD being ill and Mum in hospital.

Have thrown away

2 bananas (too far gone for anything)
1/2 carton fresh cream
1 carton buttermilk
1/3 carton natural yoghurt
2 fromag frais
1 whole bag carrots
4 baking potatoes which had gone green.

Any waste food in my household is shared proportionately between my cats and the local birds, (although my cats don't always make the distinction between table scraps and birds) it's interesting to see how the different birds come for different scraps, Seagulls will eat anything that will fit down their throats, magpies tend to go for meat or fat if it's about and chunks of fruit, crows are the most interesting to watch I throw whole slices of bread up onto the garage roof and watch them fold them into four using their claws and beak before flying off, a crow will never leave without a full slice of bread folded or stuffing it's beak with three or four of the largest bits of scrap it can hold, the blackbirds only come when I throw the slugs from the garden up on the roof for them, (I spoil them!) sparrows and other smaller birds like tits will come for cereal, breadcrumbs and of course seed, any caterpillers are also tossed up there for the sparrows, peas, baked beans, sweetcorn etc are all devoured by pigeons. No waste in this household.

quite a lot this week, due to dodgy fridge

6 chicken thighs
half pack beansprouts
pint of milk

2 radishes and a cherry tomato that joined up to plan a breakout from fridge, but I caught them tunnelling under the celery!

1 slice of horrible asparagus & wild mushroom quiche from tesco on BOGOF (fortunately picked other flavour for 2nd!).

1/2 loaf of mouldy bread. Don't like puddings, and a freezer can only hold so many breadcrumbs!

only half a lettuce. Since I have been lurking on this site my rubbish bin has only been half full every week so I am quite pleased

Has anyone else found that since you've chosen to reveal what you throw away you'll do anything so you don't have to. Like today had something I don't really like for lunch just so I didn't have to write anything on my list

I do however need a good banana bread recipe or something I can do with very ripe bananas, can't eat them when they are like that ICKY!! If anyone knows of one pleased let me know

There is a really good recipe in the indexed threads on Old Style
