Agreed. Wastage FTL.

When you live alone even the boxers are optional

I just bought one of those food saver vacuum bag things, it's pretty neat and one of the first things I did was vac seal blocks of cheese.

For us poor folks, a ziploc bag and a straw also works .

While this is a good idea, it will not work for my situation. I have Celiac Disease, this means I can't eat anything with wheat, malt or barely in it. No pasta, no bread, no cookies, nothing with white flour. What I can eat is very limited.

I was off wheat for a year when I thought I had that (turned out to be a milk allergy though, 90% of the symptoms were the same). Bread was definitely the hardest thing to avoid. There are a couple decent wheat-free bread alternatives that work pretty well if you're willing to cook them yourselves (I got a bread machine, which helped make it easy). Plus you can freeze extras. You might also try a diet plan from this guy, it's 6 meals a day and you can put in your allergies so there's no wheat in it (mine has no dairy):

Cooking for one isn't easy, but if you can get a good week-long menu together like the one above, then you can simply make meals and then keep them stored in the fridge or freezer for awhile.

That made me laugh harder than it should have.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll grab a block of cheese and a shredder the next time I need cheese. I'm also partly lactose intolerant (slice of cheese on a sandwich is fine but more than that would be pushing it) so I don't eat much cheese as it is. I don't drink milk either; soy milk all the way.

I'm covered on the gluten free bread My mother also has Celiac Disease and she lives ~30 minutes away. I usually go home for dinner once every week or two weeks; if I'm running low on bread, gluten free hamburger buns or cookies , she'll have some ready when I get there

I would freak if I couldn't eat cheese. I love extra sharp cheddar. And this is ironic because a doctor recently suggested a low sodium diet - so I'll be looking into low sodium mozzarella. Low sodium diets suck for those that like spicy foods.

win!
shredded cheese is just asking for spoilage.

Lactaid > Soy milk. Soy milk ruins your junk.

Same here, but I much prefer colby (non cheddared cheddar, look up the process to make cheddar, take out the cheddaring process and you have colby!)

This probably why I like colby almost as much as cheddar.

Ever hear of horseradish (white) cheddar? Tasty melted on roast beef but hard to find.

First off get a Handi-vac vacuum sealer. They work great for refrigerated or frozen foods.


My wife has us trying out some sort of bags that are supposed to preserve fresh produce longer. She saw them on some TV commercial. I forget the name. As of now we haven't used them long enough for me to recommend them.

I hate throwing away food too.

I've really gotten into that Handi-vac. Cooking and resealing foods into smaller portions for freezing.

 

[jaqie]

Heard of it, only had it as a powder on cheezeits, and that though heavily mutilated from the original white cheddar, was very, very good.

Man, it's dangerous to not know how to spell a very serious disease you fucking have...

Reading 101:

"Coeliac disease (pronounced /'si?li??æk/), also spelled celiac disease"

from the first fucking sentence in the article....

In other words, it's also spelled "celiac" because there are too many dumbasses out there who can't spell "Coeliac's Disease".

So I guess the National Institute of Health, The Celiac Disease Foundation, and the University of Chicago's Celiac Disease Center are all all "dumbasses"?

I hate wasting food too. It's not such a "good deal" getting mass quantities if you end up throwing some out. I'm down to what I would guess is a 2-3% wastage rate.

Recently, I started going to the local, higher priced, small grocery and getting just what I need as opposed to the 'big' grocey 20 miles away.

You got served.

I learned to make great use of the salad bar at my grocery store, whenever I just need a small amount of vegetables for a meal, especially lettuce since otherwise, you can really only buy it in large quantities (a whole head of lettuce is WAY too much for a single guy cooking for 1)

Indeed, it's scary to think that we're giving time and money to organizations like this which can't put a fraction of the resources they're given into hitting the spell check button.

I prefer to think of myself as a connoisseur of disproportionately high internet rage. I guess seeing people froth at the mouth over something so petty is too entertaining for me to resist.
