Okay, so I packed on a few pounds over the winter! Now comes the annual springtime ritual of ridding myself of it. My brilliant scheme to only eat half of every meal and toss the rest is defeated when I learn that close to one-fifth of landfill is wasted food. And even though I compost most of our food waste, the stat nonetheless sobers me up enough to recognize that wasting food is not the answer. So…I think I’ll simply start eating off my kids’ dishes. Instead of heaping helpings of my own hospitality, I’ll have a respectable morsel or two. It’s a fine line I walk between satisfying my hunger and indulging my love of food.
