Oh man it happens so easily. Especially when you consider the storage of items before we get a chance to buy them. Like if you’ve ever grown lettuce, picked some and put it into the fridge, it surprises you with how long it lasts! It’s truly eye-opening. Then you buy shop lettuce and it lasts an abysmal short amount of time and you think, hang on…
Very true. Most of this stuff has come from the food waste market, so it is already on the precipice. With Christmas and a finger injury causing delays a bit of stuff just didn’t make it.
On the positive side, I’ve now got some pumpkin and zucchini roasting (to be frozen for future grilled sandwiches), I have enough for meals for the next few days to get me through until the next market, and I’m about to get onto cutting up some peaches and apricots for the freezer and to go into some overnight oats. That should use up pretty much everything and leave me with a clean slate.
I’m doing a new year fridge cleanout, and apparently I should have done it a while ago. There are a few vegetables in there that are now liquids.

I’ll be doing my clean out tomorrow.
I forgot about a tub of yogurt I had and it wasn’t looking so good. Be tossing that tomorrow and a few other things sitting around.
Hopefully the couple of oranges I have haven’t disintegrated yet.
Same. I’ve been away so the fridge was pretty empty but I did give myself permission to toss a few freezer mystery items.
