Friday Buffet

By Jonathan | Published: October 22, 2010

What happens when a flood knocks out electricity at a supermarket (and there isn’t a backup generator, apparently)?

1. Lots and lots of wasted food

2. An env. photography award.

A billboard made out of cheese? Food artist? Hmmm…

Since I don’t fully understand Woot, I’m not even sure if it’s still on sale. But I know at one point they were selling the NatureMill indoor composting unit. I do know it’s a good sign for composting.

I’m a bit obsessed with being able to customize sizes with food. So the London store Unpackaged, where all items are loose and you bring your own container, is right up my alley. That way, you can buy just the right amount of food items, from soup (mix) to nuts.

    Do not waste your money on the indoor composter by NatureMill. It cost several hundred dollars, the parts are cheap plastic, the container itself is thick styrofoam, and you have to practically prechew the food to get it so the mulching paddle doesn’t stop. I GAVE mine away to get rid of it.

    Many thanks for the mention of Unpackaged; Catherine will be thrilled her wonderful shop has met your shores!
    Terrible thought about a supermarket without backup power 🙁

    Thanks for the input, Fireweed. I’ve never used the NatureMill, just seen it working. I’ve heard both good and bad reports…That said, I would recommend outdoor composting if you have the space.

    Mrs. Green, say hi to Catherine for me. Next time I’m over there I’ll have to visit her shop (and meet you!).
