I feel just awful, and maybe you can relate…
This evening is the night before our garbage pickup in the wee hours of tomorrow morning and we like, many others, I am sure, go through their refrigerators looking for food that may be accused of being a student’s science project!
Now of course with us home more it doesn’t happen as much as it used to when we were an active family and would make mega meals or have incoming ones that would be forgotten about, and sadly meet their makers when they would either smell ungodly or turn pretty shades of non-food colors…YUCK!
Yes, this is a failing of most human beings no matter how much we all try NOT to forget those leftovers, who in their right mind wants to eat them more than one more time, really?
Sure all those food channels give you leftover recipes to make chicken thirty different ways, or chop meat or fish what-have-you, and I suppose some of us are more apt to experiment with those creative concepts, but really?
Not very conservationist of us, hmm?
We do save on most all purchases in all areas of our life, but unforgivably we cannot seem to stop this bad behavior, of tossing things that have died in the dear old fridge…
Yes, some weeks it is only one thing and others it could be as many as three items, but in my heart of hearts I feel so very bad when even one leaves… ya know it; somehow it seems so wrong!
Confessions are good for the soul, so they (Hmm, ‘they, again, I promise I won’t go there again, at least not now.) say, and nightly I disgrace myself and some of my family and friends too with these so-called redemption admissions, but I do know not everyone appreciates me being so candid…
Well, I have two words for you, TOO BAD!
And don’t tell me that most of what I write about, that you haven’t done at least once or twice yourself, hmm friends?
Chucking that chuck roast or had played chicken keep away with your chicken or tossed that tossed salad, hmm?
Don’t make me go on, fess up; we all have, dare I say wasted FOOD!
Gosh, just seeing the words trickle from the keyboard causes me to hear my Mom saying the Chinese are starving, finish this or that!
Boy, have times changed, sure people are starving but I do believe we here in the United States also have starving or underfed children too.
And just the thought makes me take pause and also wonder if I ate those leftovers would they have been fed?
Now that is completely ridiculous!
But perhaps with our over abundances of our fortunate ability to make too much, maybe just maybe before it goes the way of scientific research in our own Petri-dishes in our fridges we could take those hot well cooked meals of way too much and share?
But with who and how?
Well, that will be my assignment and once I figure those two little issues out I will get back to you, okay?
I feel so much better getting that off my chest, not literarily, figuratively, but if I did, that too would be very weird?
Any-who, allow me to be the first to wish you all a very happy good night and ask you to kindly count all your blessings and share those overages and we will too!
And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?
Speaking My Mind is about: Tobi, who is a middle aged, no, oh all right a slightly over the hill woman with all the imperfections that go with that, and this concerns her daily life's perceptions and experiences.
