It started with two bags of Spatz's garlic toast...which kills me. We currently live 12 hours South of the little local bakery in Michigan that produces these culinary miracles (okay, I may be exaggerating a little, but they're really good). I love them with cheddar cheese spread, but I especially love them in French onion soup. So when I stocked up this summer, I put them in the freezer like I usually do. But this time they got REALLY freezer burned and tasted terrible. I guess I wasn't in the mood for French Onion Soup when it was over 100 degrees this summer.
On the plus side, I did find that Texas Toast will do in a pinch to float in your soup. It was pretty tasty.
The rest of our food waste was one lonely tamale. It was part of a combination platter at a Mexican restaurant we tried. It must have been freezer burn week, because that's what this tamale tasted like. I hated it, my husband hated it, so we tossed it.
Not a bad week as far as food waste goes...
I am lucky - I have two large dogs and they help me with any bread waste. They don't care how stale it is... they think it is the best doggy treat ever! :)
ReplyDeleteKids are also handy for using up freezer burnt food. If I toast freezer burnt bread and top it with cinnamon and sugar, they never even notice.
ReplyDeleteOf course, that's no good with garlic bread! lol
