I'm in the process of changing my Misfits day from Wednesday back to Friday in the hope of better choices and delivery.
So this means a couple of extra days before I get the next box, next week. Which I'm using to see if I can get ahead of the vegetables in the freezer, by means of soup.
Hence today's leeks, yay the last of them, spinach, parsley, onion, garlic soup with diced yellow potatoes added. Chicken stock cubes, Old Bay, salt. After it's blended I may add in a bit of hot sausage.
And the many times rewashed and reused self sealing bags, draining. Enough plastic comes in uninvited that it's years since I bought containers or bags. I wash and reuse parchment paper and tinfoil, too, unless it's been around chicken or sausage.
I've been doing this for many years, back to the first Earth Day, when people ridiculed it, with dismissive names like cheapskate. Times have changed, younger people are more aware, and it's ages since anyone made dismissive remarks. So in this way, at least, things are better.
Take joy where you can find it! While I was writing the labels for this post, predictive text, seeing the word reuse, helpfully suggested I meant apple streusel. I might consider it. I do have apples in the freezer. Not right now though.
