I finished the frozen falafel, and have started eating through the fish in the freezer. We still seem to have a large freezer reserve, but I think that's somewhat typical for us.
Something I knew already but that I have been reminded of:
My partner and I have different attitudes toward food waste. I hate it, and feel compelled to finish things even if I don't like them. Granted, I will amend them or use them in different ways to make them more palatable, but always I try to finish them.
But he simply accepts that he doesn't like an item, and will not finish it. Why should he eat things he doesn't actively enjoy? It doesn't seem to bother him at all.
I notice this because he bought a new type of peanut butter to try. I opened it, and it's okay, but I don't love it. It's gloppy and a bit messy to eat. My partner tried it - and felt the same way - and promptly opened a reserve jar of our usual peanut butter to eat.
Meanwhile, I'm 2/3 of the way through the experimental one, and hope it'll be gone in another week or so.
