Last night we did a quick sweep of the refrigerator to see what food we needed to finish up - i.e. what food likely wouldn't be good three weeks from now. We had a nearly full carton of eggs, some sour cream, some ricotta cheese, two nearly empty bags of shredded cheese, half a tomato, and some milk - both regular and almond.We decided to create a "taco egg...surprise(?)" entree using all of the above mentioned ingredients plus some taco seasoning for flavor. (We had also had some hard taco shells we planned to use, but realized they were stale after we'd already come up with our dinner plan.) It didn't turn out half-bad. For dessert, we tried to finish up some tiramisu ice cream that will likely not taste very good three weeks from now.
For breakfast that morning, I had braved some old instant coffee packets we had sitting around in a kitchen drawer and attempted to finish up the coffee creamer we still had in the refrigerator. We had run out of fresh coffee the week before and didn't want to buy and open a fresh package since it would just be sitting there and lose its freshness over the next few weeks. Plus, I had finished up a container of yogurt mixed with some blueberries and homemade fruit syrup, so all of the "immediately perishable" items were cleared out of the house.
