Our fridge hardly has anything in it right now. It's mostly just jars of fermented food and condiments. I know what you are talking about though, I've been there and thought the same. I hate wasting.

You really are lucky to live in a climate where you can grow something all year long. The shortage of freshness is something we need to solve. Winter is LONG and I just get so tired of canned and frozen.

All the tasty looking foodie photos are making me drool. That grilled cheese post you wrote has me talking about cheese and grilled things to my husband. He is laughing at me because he says I've never spoke of cheese with such longing before. Those little luxuries in life are really nice.

I looked at a map thinking I might walk to the nearest shop but a seven-hour trip in cold, snowy, slippery, windy conditions just doesn't' seem worth it. I'm going to pop some corn and have a glass of wine instead. :)
