It's easier than trying to explain what I would rather not have in my dish. I guess it would just be better for me to never go out, I'm that particular.Liz A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16531953467834426316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289342.post-51467578123009633122019-04-01T23:16:48.641+05:302019-04-01T23:16:48.641+05:30Great post!

My husband went to culinary school and worked as a chef for a few years when he was younger, he always comments on how much food they used to waste. I love the fact that minimizing waste seems to be becoming a trend. In Toronto, our first no waste supermarket just opened and I plan to visit it. Thanks so much for sharing this and for being a part of the #WATWB family!BWitzenhausenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02412474151406964951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289342.post-20134366513336032202019-04-01T18:11:09.210+05:302019-04-01T18:11:09.210+05:30Thanks, Rajan, for the comments.
