  Waste not...

  Correct me if I'm wrong: another thing I've noticed with our American acquaintances is that, like sarahbei says, they keep everything they might possibly need in a week and much more at hand in their fridge, and therefore most of it spoils and gets thrown out. Hardly any of my European friends do this and it just seems mind-boggling to me. In our household things go bad maybe once or twice a year? And when we're forced to throw it away (=usually compost) I always feel really bad and guilty for ages. I guess we manage it with a bit of forward planning.

  Mind you, they are starting to sell "American fridges" here in Finland, too, and they're about 1.5-2 times the size of an ordinary fridge (not many people here, either, use the squat ones).On Umbra on refrigerator downsizing posted 2 years, 4 months ago 34 Responses
