Spare cake

So we are on day two of recycle week and our pledge to eat leftovers for lunch.

I have kind have interpreted that to mean 'waste less food', so I have:

Given our spare cake to our neighbours (yes there really is such a thing as spare cake)

And turned pesky left-over pots into lunch fit for two princesses

So far so good.

Recycle Week

This week is recycle week and I have been tagged by the lovely Tasha to make a pledge for said occasion.

But I am struggling.

Here are the details:

This is what you need to do:

• Visit http://www.recyclenow.com/ and sign up to one of the pledges to waste less.
• Share the details of your pledge on your own blog.
• Chose five other bloggers, who will also be up for a bit of recycling fun.
• Come back to this post at The Rubbish Diet and share your pledge with others, by placing a link to your pledge in the comments field.
• Optional - as a thank you to all involved The Rubbish Diet will be publishing a British Mummy Bloggers' Recycle Week carnival on Monday 29th June. To be included, simply submit your favourite post revealing the progress of your pledge by Saturday 27th June - email to karen[at]therubbishdiet[dot]co[dot]uk.

Well, I am actually pretty good at recycling, I even keep shopping bags in the pushchair AND I have a small one in my handbag. I know, I know I should have a halo.

I did think about going 'waste free' for a day but I have a baby, babies don't do waste free. Even if you use terry (or whatever the equivalent is these days) nappies there is still a nappy liner.

So the only other contender was 'Left-overs for lunch' most of the week I only cook stir-fry and cook what I need. So I will plump (hopefully not literally) for this - a bit worried about the pile of potatoes I have at home but potato salad and smoked salmon sounds good. I don't think eating leftover-homemade Victoria Sandwich filled with fresh raspberries will be a problem!

Ok, I think it may be a bit late to tag people but just in case I tag (non mummy bloggers):
