Yesterday I went sorting through the freezer, mainly to see what was there in the way of meat. I don't often buy meat, so I really wasn't sure what was there. I didn't find any meat surprises, but I did find 2 salmon filets. One of them is destined to be supper later on, probably with couscous and green peas. But in the process of hunting I came across a package of whole wheat tortillas. That was as much a treat as the salmon, since the bread has been long gone. Last night for supper I cooked some bacon and made a "sandwich" with a tortilla and some shredded cheese warmed in the oven to melt the cheese and then bacon added. Not quite a quesadilla, but in that direction. It was so good, I had did the same thing this morning for breakfast. There are 3 tortillas left, and I think I have just enough bacon.
On Wednesday I leave for a week of work in Louisville, which means that I now need to start working on using up the perishables. There's one more serving of chili to go, some mushroom soup, and possibly a couple of other things. Part of the discipline has become not wasting food in addition to not hoarding it, so I'm trying not to come home to a fridge full of science experiments. That's one reason I cooked the bacon last night; I've had it a while, and it's time to use it up. If I can come up with a creative recipe in the process, so much to the good.
