How to celebrate a first?!

I’m giddy, no actually, I’m not even kidding.  I’m giddy with the fact that I have (wait for it) achieved (still waiting?) A WASTE FREE WEEK!!!!

Ahhhhh…the crowd goes wild (actually it’s just me but I’m easily amused).

It was touch-and-go there but the class’ Guinea Pig (Lulu)

ate some semi-wilted tatsoi.  Way to take one for the team, Lulu.  The baby has literally eaten her own weight in food-a growth spirt might be coming.

How to celebrate this first?

Well, I wouldn’t mind a trip to Disney but I’ll settle on a little little ode.

Ode to Zero Food Waste
Ahhh…my unconquerable goal.
How sweet victory is today.
We ate until we dropped.
And my food pushing status is secure.

The end (this is-like most things, a work in progress).

Alright, that was pretty crappy so how about a nice dessert to end our Mexican themed week?

It’s described as “a mexican style cookie rolled in cinnamon sugar”-sounds like my kind of fun.
