It's another one of those cycle things, I guess. :) Anyway, I'm sorry I've been scarce lately but school has been keeping me busy.

That meant, using up what we have and not throwing extra away. I guess composting is okay but for example you can't (or shouldn't) compost meat or fats. So, it was hard but it really got me thinking about creative ways to reuse my leftovers and making sure I was actually USING food and not just throwing it away. <br /><br />Try it!
