etsummer Great #nofoodwaste tip, using those almost-out-the-door greens!
-
carpe_deli Thanks @etsummer yes indeed 😋

RahulRaRa Gargeer! That's what some people call arugula or rocket around me. These greens wilt pretty easily in the heat, so this is a great recipe (I have no shortage of naan).
Delicious antipasti made with locally foraged greens.

NehaNBB Wow, I knew that "sell by" meant that the product was probably good after the sell-by date, but I've definitely thrown stuff out past the sell by day 'just in case.' I'm glad this is finally...
-
GooseBarry @NehaNBB true, but I think we need to rely on our senses like we used to - bad milk smells bad. Maybe a milk sniff test workshop should be held in schools.
