Ann Schoenecker 10/21/2016 1:17 PMOne thing I always do as a rule which follows what my mother did growing up, is not fill up the frig with stuff I am not going to eat. Nothing goes to waste ever. If you think your vege's are going bad before you have a chance to eat them all, just make a crockput full of stone soup (everything in the frig), which can be frozen.
