Forgetting to freeze is kinda weak. But we've all made one of those mistakes somewhere along the line. I was just surprised to see such a well-known food writer talk about waste. But yeah, plenty of room for improvement. You’re right about the freezer part. Forgetting to freeze is kinda weak. But we’ve all made one of those mistakes somewhere along the line.

I was surprised at the strength of my reaction. Familiar as I am with NYC prices I still felt they were being self-indulgent about farmers' market purchases. I was close to gone when they threw out a $35 chicken when all they had to do was freeze the whole thing till they were ready to deal with it. Then he totally lost me when he talked about tossing chicken stock because he forgot to freeze or boil it. Forget to freeze? How hard is it to put it in the freezer when it cools down?! I didn't see a whole lot of thrift in that article, either. I found the Wells article dull and the people uninteresting. I was surprised at the strength of my reaction.
