The sage bush was taking over the herb spiral so I gave it a trim. Waste not want not, I have now a few sage bundles hanging to dry.

I should have been #writing today. Instead, I got sucked into cleaning out the freezer and making head cheese.

We were without power for about 48 hours and everything started to thaw, making it the perfect time to deal with the last bits of our pork harvest from last Nov. We had four heads, many feet, organ meats, and even a few chicken legs go in the pot.

Tomorrow we'll finish processing it. Stay tuned.

My end-of-the-month dinners get weirder every time. Tonight we had a Simply Cook ‘Santa Fe salad’ with many many substitutes to make use do what we have in and what needed using up! 😂

Can you spot them all?

It's #FoodWastePrevention week, and my friend Laura Clise of the Intentionalist wrote this great piece about The Naked Grocer's waste-free program:

A thing I do that i would never have thought to, before I got into pings: clap my hands to kill a gnat... then find it and put it on my plants for a snack. #WasteNotWantNot #pings

Eating a cold fish finger that my 8-year-old niece left on her plate. #wastenotwantnot

I hate waste and try to use every scrap of food, so there's always a motley selection of veggie bits lurking in the bottom of my fridge. Which means that on this sharply cold and windy day I took some kohlrabi leaves, broccoli and chard stems, some cabbage stalks, a couple of leftover carrots and roast potatoes, chopped them all up with loads of garlic, olive oil and a chicken wing and made the perfect, heartwarming soup. #wastenotwantnot

Fully embracing the #NormanRockwell of this holiday #MonDog ! Slowly stitching my way through my mending pile from under a mess of blankets and sleeping puppy. Favourite chew toy got repaired first - upholstery thread is amazing! One stuffy, one button, and I'm on the third pair of pants!

Looking inside my fridge, I have half a bag of washed baby spinach which is looking severely lifeless. I ate half of it in salads, earlier this week.

So, I'm going to make some kind of tarka daal with chickpeas and throw in the spinach.

Nowadays, I only ever buy salad leaves I can cook with, when they start to wilt. I got annoyed at myself for constantly throwing away browning lettuce.

Time for #Pondering, lots to wonder about...
Like, sometimes people need lots of bubble wrap, and they buy it. Other times people have a huge pile and they wonder how to get it to the people who need it so they don't have to buy it?

@chillu I knew some of this... Still pretty bloody depressing 😔😭🌏.

Here's my takeaway -
“Buy things that grew in your lifetime. If you aren’t prepared to throw something into the sea, don’t buy it.”

Does your food taste any different from the sparkling pan?

Can confirm that making 2 very small pots of green-grape jelly takes a very long time. 😂

This coming festive season, avoid preparing more food than needed for gatherings. It is generally safe to cater 10 to 15 per cent less than required for the number of guests expected.

We are urging everyone to continue the momentum of the collective effort to say no to food waste. This will help in our fight against climate change by conserving resources, reducing waste sent for incineration and extending the lifespan of our only landfill.

If possible opt for Vegan Choices.

Thank you so much for the books @tripe Arrived today. Looking forward to getting stuck into the Yorkshire one...the 2021 Diary will be very useful for my Wordle working out scribbles as I've just finished an old notepad. The kind of Tripe delivery I am in favour of. #WasteNotWantNot 👍
