No. It got old and decrepit. I opted not to replace it since I mainly only
used it when I was on the raw vegan diet. Or when I made meatloaf or a
certain potato recipe and that was only one or two times a year. I would
rather have the counter space and make do with a knife or mandolin.

Did you see that news story about wasted food? Something like 40% of
all food gets tossed out.

I don't throw out nearly that much food. Since they picked up the trash on
Thu., the only things have been a little bit of celery that went limp and a
little cilantro that was a bit old.

Had you allowed the celery to remain in the closet
it might not have gone limp. I am not certain, though,
about the odd cilantro. One cannot tell with cilantro.

I can only go by what you always write. You write way too much about
throwing something out. Of course sometimes it might not be food, but
most of the time it is.

It wasn't in the closet. My fridge got too cold.

I have a problem with vegetables at the bottom of my vegetable bins
freezing too. I solved the problem by storing bags of nuts, shredded
coconut, bulk herbs etc on the bottom and placing the vegetables on
top. Not the perfect solution, but it works for me.

It's very rare that I have celery go bad, when there is only a few
stalks left that info will be filed and very next time I'm deciding
what to eat for lunch I will check my fridge for any fixings to go in
ramen, celery is one of those veggies that always works well in soups.

That you can't adjust the temperature for different fridge locations
it must be a forty year old unit you picked up at the Salvation
Army thrift for like $20... you must live in a hovel... or you're just
too friggin' stupid to comprehend the owner's manual.

At the recent food show here in SEA, Cash & Carry had a booth, and my
sis had her badge scanned. I am now getting their "hot sheet" ads here
at home. I see they have the 2 oz Solo cups for 2.85- this is for 250
of them. The lids are 1.25 for 100, so this way you can just toss them
guilt free. I don't know how much hummus you eat at a time, but even
if you eat more than 2 oz, you can take a couple with you and toss
when empty.

My fridge is only a few years old. But I have to turn it to the coldest
setting during the summer. Probably time to adjust it again now.

And I'm sure that she has a place to store them. I don't want to store cups
and I don't want to make hummus.

yes, because it would take up so much space...wait, if you don't store them,
then you can B&M about having to lug the heavy 2oz container back home

Plastic food containers are reusable. When you discover a size you
like save a stack and run them through your dishwasher. Yogurt and
cottage cheese tubs can be used more than fifty times.

Then there is something wrong with your fridge or with how you use it.

Yes, but these were disposable ones. As we can see, no matter what,
all Jules wants to do is bitch & moan.
