Post and EaT Everything WeekEnd Lame LeftoverS (PETE WELLS, geddit!)

Ed Charles has come up with what will be a new monthly event (the second weekend of every month) – Post and EaT Everything WeekEnd Lame LeftoverS (PETE WELLS!)

Get it? Got it? Good!

Food bloggers are so creative. LOL!

Basically, this is how he explains the event:

“This is all about the mundane and nearly rotten stuff leftover in the kitchen that you could throw out or recycle or make into something delicious. I’m talking sub cheese sandwich here, probably the crusts. Inspired while reading about cheese sandwiches last weekend, I found J had thrown out over ripe strawberries (I could have made a smoothy) and that apart from croutons and breadcrumbs I’m not very imaginative with my dried out bread crusts. The aim is to draw out all those traditional recipes that recycle what now we leave for waste.”

So, lets see what I have leftover in my fridge this Sunday evening:

Italian Wedding Soup: marinated baby artichokes: a cup of leftover roasted chicken, 2 stalks of fresh broccoli that needs to be eaten NOW or it will really need to go into the garbage: lettuce leaves: fresh rosemary; and three slices of American cheese.

Hmmm… Let’s see: For lunch on Monday, I think I’ll make another cheese sandwich with my American cheese slices , finish off the Italian Wedding Soup, make a salad out of the lettuce leaves, marinated baby artichokes, roasted chicken and broccoli stalks. I’m not sure what I can do with the rosemary. Maybe put some in my salad? Any suggestions? Well, this is certainly a good way not to waste food!

Ed will post a round up of the blog postings on Monday, March 13. So go check it out here. And don’t forget: This will a monthly event for those interested in participating.
