Comments on: Tasty Tips http://www.wastedfood.com/2008/10/08/tasty-tips/ a look at how America squanders nearly half of its food Wed, 08 Feb 2012 07:04:29 +0000 hourly 1 By: dee dee http://www.wastedfood.com/2008/10/08/tasty-tips/comment-page-1/#comment-46273 dee dee Thu, 09 Oct 2008 15:20:44 +0000 http://www.wastedfood.com/2008/10/08/tasty-tips/#comment-46273 Sometimes my kitchen gets overloaded with leafy greens like kale and swiss chard from my CSA. After a few days they get wilted and limp. Rather than tossing them into the compost, I cut the stems a bit and place the whole bunch in a vase of water. The leaves perk up pretty quickly making them much more appetizing. If I'm ambitious enough, I'll chop some up, blanche and freeze a quart bag or 2 for use later. I chop the stems and blanche them too, but freeze separately. Sometimes my kitchen gets overloaded with leafy greens like kale and swiss chard from my CSA. After a few days they get wilted and limp.

I think mincemeat is not just beef (could be other meat) and has other stuff mixed into it (stuff that Americans probably wouldn't typically add to their ground beef). But surely someone else is more informed... I think mincemeat is different from minced meat, which may be the same as ground beef.
