I almost took a picture of an empty pizza sauce jar but I didn’t think it told the story. The story of my waste. This week I had to throw out about a cup of pizza sauce. It could have been more but I had just used some to make the pizza. In fact, the jar was on its way back to the fridge when I grabbed it from a different angle and saw the mold inside.
**Don’t tell the husband, he’ll really freak out.**
Now in defense, the mold was just a small patch attached to a little bit of sauce on the side of the jar that was quite a bit separate from the sauce I dipped into. I hate when that happens. When a little patch of old(ish) product goes bad when the majority of what remains seems fine.
I was still thinking about whether I could have saved the remainder as I was washing out the jar and remembered that I hadn’t taken a picture first.
My mind truly works in mysterious ways. Thanks food waste Friday for reminding me of this fact.
