I just stick stuff in my fridge until I'm pretty sure it's expired and then I toss it. It's a pretty simple methodology to implement.
I do that a lot with leftovers.
Last weekend I finally gave up on the quinoa (8 weeks old?) and the chicken-and-lentils (at least a month old), and tossed them. Happily, we have city composting, so at least it didn't end up in landfill or clogging up the waste-water treatment system...
Next weekend I will probably have to retire the tomato and basil salad I made the other night.
Really, I would be much better off to just freeze the stuff. At least I remember to do that with the ends of bread loaves. Once I have enough, I make bread pudding.
All I know is that while I was at PT being stuck with needles, y'all went nuts. I clicked the link. Then I read some of the conversation out to the kids. I had to share the WTF.
Should I admit that I label every container with contents and date and keep a refrigerator inventory database with estimated expiration dates?
That is super impressive.
I am currently pleased with myself that I took something out of the freezer for dinner instead of buying crap. And it was labeled: Chili 5/11.
Duck penises (I really want that word to be penii) seem so quaintly innocent compared to cow teat dresses. Or bull anus trousers.
One of the things I identified as a migraine trigger was meat that wasn't cooked within about a day of purchase. I'm blanking on what the chemical that's produced is called, but it makes my head hurt. I had to try and explain that to the sleep psych and she looked at me like I was weird, and why wasn't chocolate or aged cheese a trigger?
Aged cheese might be. I don't eat it, I think.

Super duper impressive.
I made lentils and rice today... separately, but I combine them, but they won't last long enough to go bad. I'm pretty good about eating up all my leftovers. I tend to let raw veggies go bad way too often, though.
I hope this sleep psych turns out to be helpful and not just annoying.
Should I admit that I label every container with contents and date and keep a refrigerator inventory database with estimated expiration dates?
I don't label containers going in the refrigerator, but I tend to label things I'm freezing. And I keep a mental inventory of what's in the refrigerator and the pantry.

Tyramine?
Tyramine?
Yes! Why do you know that?
