I'm so glad to feel better today. Cleaned the car, cleaned my gardening tote, cleaned out the refrigerator, went grocery shopping with dear husband, and got ready for tomorrow, when I am going to teach a young friend to make sticky rice, the Laotian kind.
But today, I continued trying to use things up. Some professional food bloggers are doing that this week, too, so they aren't even shopping today. They call it Eating Down the Fridge Week, which I find a much more appealing title than a similar idea I've heard, C.O.R.N., for Clean Out Refrigerator Night. I tried telling B., once or twice, that it was CORN night, but that was way confusing and evidently annoying.
One of these food writers confessed that she had four refrigerators out of which to Eat Down! (I trust she has a lot of people to feed.) That's in addition to the freezer and the pantry which are to be one's resources, as well. I'm all for it, but today...well, the emphasis was not on cooking, as I've told you. But I definitely used up some things: old frozen pineapple, and frozen ripe banana, and some rice protein, ice and almond milk... that vanilla paste that I never use: I put all those in the blender and made it my lunch. The thermometer got up to 80° today, maybe higher, and after working out in that sun, a healthy smoothie was quite welcome. So what if it wasn't the best; it was very satisfying to Eat Down the Fridge.
