    • A Christmas Post in November. That’s Right.

      Christmas TreeWe’re that family. The one that “pffts” its way down the Christmas aisle in the supermarket. The one that bemoans the playing of Christmas carols on any day prior to Christmas Eve. The one that blatantly abuses the ‘commercialisation of Christmas’. We discreetly purchase our gifts, not wishing to be associated with the cheery, festive Christmas-shopper crowd (though if it’s Christmas Eve its more likely to be bug-eyed and flustered in nature). What’s that you say? We’re a family of miserable Christmas haters? Whatever gave you that impression? Sheesh. Because despite our Grinch-like facade, we actually do enjoy Christmas. And golly gosh, we even have traditions of our own. What kind of traditions might a family ‘allergic’ to most Christmas related festivities have? Why, those pertaining to food of course.

      Mountains of BreadI do hope that you have a penchant for bread. Why? Well you can expect a whole lotta bread-related recipes to come your way in the following weeks. I have just started working at a local gourmet sandwich bar/café (and before you ask, no, it’s not Subway).  Whilst this particular enterprise does a commendable job of minimising it’s food waste there is almost always bread left over at the end of the day. In the beginning it was like Christmas come early – trudging home reeking of putrid dishwashing water didn’t feel quite so bad when armed with bags of soft, pillowy café-style bread. But when that occurs after every shift we begin to hit a slight glitch – our household barely goes through a loaf of bread a week. So slowly but surely our very small freezer has begun to fill with white, multigrain, whole-wheat and rye specimens, all shoved in higgeldy-piggeldy. By Saturday night it had reached a crisis point – now each time one opens the freezer door they are in severe danger of being knocked out by a falling loaf of bread. I almost felt obliged to put up a sign saying “warning bread overhead” but the decided it was probably better to keep the lame rhymes to myself. Continue reading →

    • A New Waste Page

      I’m currently on my way back from Melbourne, so rather than penning a post about waste I thought I’d take this opportunity to alert you to a page I created over the weekend. My dear ol’ iPhone 3 is on it’s last legs and rather temperamental these days, so using it for any lengthy period is a recipe for angst, but I digress. If you lift your eyes up to the menu, you’ll see that the page titled ‘waste’ is still there. Yeah, yep you’ve seen that before. So what’s this crazy lady going on about? Well, if you hover your mouse over the ‘waste’ a little subtitle will drop down. That, my friends, is where all of my ramblings/rants/goings on about all things related to food waste have relocated to. If you actually click on the ‘waste’, it’ll take you to a page with a fantastic visual summary about food waste in Australia. How about that? Continue reading →
