Head Chef
I was watching the PBS NewsHour this evening and they had a segment about food waste in the US. Tom Colicchio from Top Chef was interviewed mostly about waste at the production level but near the end, he mentioned avoiding waste in his own home by cleaning out the fridge one a week; chopping up everything that is starting to age and tossing it into a soup or pasta or something. He calls it Clean Up Friday.
This seems so common sensical but I can't remember anybody suggesting it quite that way. I try to use stuff up but if it was part of a weekly routine I might be better at it.
In case anybody is interested ‘Top Chef’ Tom Colicchio on America’s staggering waste of food is the link to that segment and the part I'm talking about starts at about 3:45.
