Throwing food away! ugh!

March 22nd, 2008 at 10:07 pm

I was feeling so good, having made 2 full meals from leftover chicken (so, 3 meals total from the same chicken!)...and, as I went to look for something in the cupboard, I noticed.... there are those nasty bugs that eat pasta/grains in there!...ACK!...went through everything...had to throw away A LOT of stuff!... Frown At least, I fumigated the cupboard and managed to save some of the stuff (I need to talk to Nanny, this is precisely why I bought all those plastic containers, so NOTHING would be exposed!)...ugh!

    Yeah, we have to watch all the grain meals (flour, oatmeal, cornmeal, etc). We have been using glass containers to help in the fight since once you get them, you never really get rid of them...

    Oh my, I brought them home in a bag of pasta once and it took forever to get rid of them. My mother always stored her flour with bay leaves at the top of the bin to keep away bugs. I don't know if it worked, but I was thinking of doing that since I now keep fairly large amounts of flour on hand.

    Oh, how frustrating! I have never had them, but my friend did. I agree with debtfreeme, freeze everything like that for a few days to a few months. It really helps!
