[quote=Anonymous]You know, dried herbs aren't all that bad. Sure:  I'll eat pesto every day of the week but rosemary, thyme, tarragon and such all dry well. They don't taste bad grown in a windowsill pot either. You can even grow baby lettuce:  and yes, I work fulltime with kids.

So Sunday, you roast two chickens with lemon and parsley and yumminess under the skin. Put potatoes in chunks on the rack around the chicken---so they're out of the grease. Dinner is a chicken. Carve it so it goes further. If there's four of you, you'll have a chicken and a bit left. Save the juices(and the grease!) pick the carcasses clean and set aside the meat. Dump all the bones in a big pot, add an onion, a carrot and a piece of celery. Make soup.

The leftover breast meat makes sandwiches. The rest of the leftovers make a casserole.

Also:  buy apples in bags. They're smaller, which means less waste. They're also cheaper by pound, which is silly, because who needs more than one apple and the smaller ones make more sense. [/quote]
