Mine was "Name one, I'll send it to him"
That didn't turn out well so the next time was "that's because they don't know how bad this tastes".
I was mostly reformed by my teen years.

Wasting food is anathema to me! Since I'm home at lunchtime most days I love it when there are leftovers in the fridge - a quick easy meal. When I'm cooking something that keeps well I always cook extra to make sure we have leftovers.
In Seattle we lived 2 blocks from Trader Joes and now, in Tokyo, we actually live in a building that has a grocery store in the basement, so it is much easier to pick up things we need daily than it was when I had to do all my shopping for the week - that really keeps the waste down.

AllRecipes is good in that it allows you to type in ingredients and it will give you recipe suggestions further cutting back on wastage.

I forgot about that feature on AllRecipes and haven't used it in a long time. Thanks for reminding me! It's really cool how you put in what you have on hand, and it comes up with a recipe you never would have thought of.
