Curious: Nagging Questions With Unimportant Answers

Gemme · 12-24-2014, 12:42 PM

Counters are messy right now. Toaster, can openner and GF grill are out. I'll put the grill away soon. No small appliances remain plugged in when not in use for safety and cost reasons.

Microwave is built into the cabinet above the stove, so I have no choice whether it stays out or not.

I've never made rice, sticky or not, outside of an Uncle Ben's bag and I'm okay with that.

Another kitchen question: Do you ever buy food products to try and then not really care for them? If so, do you throw them away immediately or put them up in the cabinet (or freezer, if appropriate) to "save" just in case you run out of other options?

Save it just in case, freezing is another option I use as well because I know it will be eaten by someone, in the house.

I'm not a risk taker normally. I tend to stick with what I know I like whether it be with grocery shopping or ordering at a restaurant! BUT if I should try something and don't care for it, I will either try and pass it along to someone who might or just toss it out. I don't see the point in keeping something that will just take up space knowing in the long run it'll be tossed eventually at some point.

If it is something I like and can use as *leftovers* its a keeper. If not, I toss it to the feral dogs/cats to eat. I have a small kitchen with limited storage, so I don't tend to buy items that wont be useful to another.

Depends on what it is. Some stuff I can fold into other things and it won't affect the taste much, just add extra nutrients. Some stuff tickles my gag reflex just thinking about them. They go.

Immediately.

And then I brush my teeth.

After eating something happy.

Depends on the product. If it was a recipe, I'll take it over to my neighbor, who has been sick. If it was just a processed food, I'll toss it.

Trader Joe's, if you don't like it, take it back. Try something else.

I'm braver if I know I'm not stuck with it and have discovered some good things that way. In other places my experiments are usually with produce, it won't keep anyway and unless I think I will finish it, out it goes.
