Food waste - I think I might have a problem…

I always have been a bit obsessed with not wasting food, but it is getting worse 

I did cheat a bit with these as I got the lemons, limes and the maderin oranges from work as freebies (on date, reduced and not sold), but I caught myself thinking I must pick up some more cheapo ice cube trays so I can extend my stocks if the opportunity arises

Fruit zested with a micro plane grater and juiced, then put together to make juice and zest cubes. I got a lemon one out today to use in cooking and very useful it was to have on hand, but going a bit too far to save stuff or not…  

That's an interesting way of saving them. How many of each fruit were needed to make those ice cubes, do you think? And did you just use them in a drink, or another way?

Mmmm, niiiiice 

We do the same and add a couple to my insulated drinking bottle and top up with water or lemonade. So good on a hot day at work 

Yes I was going to use the insulated bottle I take to the plot with me for the orange ones 

I've still got two bags of frozen Thai Dragon chillis from last year's crop, in the freezer...

You'd think they'd defrost the thing, but it hasn't happened yet...

While my brother and I were at piano lessons on a Thursday evening, Dad would trot off to Sainsbury's and buy up their yellow stickered meat.

He would proudly present it to Mum when we got home, and she would have to wonder a) what to do with it, and b) how to fit it into the freezer!
