It all started with the salad dressing. Seven open bottles of salad dressing in the fridge- many with less than an inch of dressing left in them. Should we just make a concerted effort to use some of them up?
And what other dressings do we have? In the pantry... Oh dear.
A quick 10 minutes later, and we have a full paper sack of groceries to donate to the local food pantry. Dressings that no one living in the house would eat. Foods with wheat in them (someone is wheat-free, and others won't cook them). Envelopes of seasoning for red meat that we don't eat. How our food habits have changed over time!
I thought this would be a major undertaking, but it was over almost as soon as it started. The whole pantry didn't get a once-over, just a couple shelves. And how much better it looks!
So much nicer to do a bit at a time. Leaves room for the other chores that were scheduled for today.
And we were inspired to have an eat-up-the-leftovers lunch. Yummy!
