This title isn't mine –
it belongs to my daughter in law Cheryl. Whilst she was visiting and
we were relaxing with some light refreshment we had an impromptu
brain storming session.
Here are a few of my
initial questions put to Cheryl,
“How do you shop and
cook now?”
“How many times each
week do you visit a supermarket?”
“How much food and
therefore money do you waste each week?”
“On arriving home
from work are you greeted with “What's for tea”?
If the answers to the
first three questions are along the lines of,
“I shop when there's
nothing in the cupboard/fridge and rely on back-up convenience
foods/ready meals”
“Probably 2 or 3
times”
“I throw away fruit
and vegetables and other foodstuffs I'd forgotten were in the fridge
and are subsequently out of date. I must throw away several pounds
worth each week”
and
“Yes!” to question
four
then I
think you'll find making small changes can reap massive rewards -
with forward planning and a relatively small amount of time in the
kitchen control can be yours!
One of Cheryl's
favourite light bulb moments was grating a large block of cheddar
cheese, bagging and refrigerating - you're good to go without washing
the grater eight million times. Whatever your domestic circumstances
you'll free up valuable time much better spent with your family or,
have more chance to prop a bar up somewhere – the world is your
lobster!
Food for thought? (I'm
sooooo sorry – really awful)
