I feel badly about that because some animal died for nothing. Still,
it happens. But it is one reason I bought a tilia ... I was tired
of throwing out meat from the freezer because it was freezer burned.

That's the problem with me for fresh salad, I can only eat so much.
By the time you buy all the ingredients you like in a salad, you have
enough fresh produce for a family of 8. No gots.

When I eat out, I almost always order something that will make great
leftovers. I'll never eat it all, but it usually makes lunch for 2
the next day. The only waste is getting that garnish off my plate
before they wrap it up for me.
