#Aotearoa / #NewZealand - Free #LoveFoodHateWaste Workshop: Peels, Stems and Pulp – #DevonportAuckland

Sunday, 19 July 2026
10:30 am - 12:00 pm

#DevonportLibrary
2 Victoria Road, Devonport, 0624, Auckland

"Join Sarah Williams at Devonport Library for this free Love Food Hate Waste Workshop – peels, pulp and stems.

These are parts of fruit and vegetables that are usually thrown away or composted but are often edible. This would suit those who are already on their food waste reduction journey and want to learn more as well as those new to the subject. We’ll get hands on and explore some techniques that can easily be replicated at home.

The workshop will also cover practical advice on how to avoid food waste in the kitchen including meal planning and how to store fresh produce to help it last longer.

This Love Food Hate Waste workshop is proudly supported by Auckland Council, #DevonportLibrary and is delivered by #CompostCollective."

I planned out some meals for this week: enfrijoladas, chili con carne, and a cream of something pasta dish thing (not sure what, but I'm leaning towards chicken and broccoli BUT I can also just make stroganoff). So I started soaking beans and shall feed the sourdough starter (poor thing was put in the fridge this past week because I didn't have time for ANYTHING). I do have homemade egg noodles that need to be used, so either the pasta dish idea or something else.

This is one of those he-had-gastric-bypass-surgery posts. You’ve been warned.

I am doing a small food experiment today. I am hoping I do not get the results that I expect I will get.

I work in the office twice a week. Over the last couple of months I have noticed a trend. When I leave work I am dealing with some major gas pain. I thought it had to do with me having something to eat on the drive home and then being too stuffed for dinner, but the last couple of office days I have cut way down on the food I eat in the afternoon before dinner, and the gas pain has still been a thing.

I had a (very minor) epiphany on Monday. I think I know what’s going on. I bring the same lunch every time I go to the office. One serving of Purdue Chicken Bites (12 little mini chicken nuggets) that I heat up in the microwave, and then one serving (either 2.0 oz or 2.6 oz, depending on the brand) of peanuts. Combined it works out to 22 grams of protein, which is pretty good for that small a meal. Sometimes I’ll have some crackers or some sugar free candy with my lunch as well.

I have Purdue chicken, in various shapes and sizes, all the time. I have the sugar free candy and crackers all the time too. Peanuts though… in the early days of post-surgery solid foods I had peanuts all the time. Over the last year or so I have sort of lost interest in them and have only been eating them with lunch in the office. My question to myself then is this: Why didn’t that set off a red flag sooner?

Are the peanuts causing the afternoon/evening gas issues? It seems likely, doesn’t it? Today’s experiment then is to not have peanuts with lunch and then see what happens. I like peanuts. They are a good source of protein and they are tasty and while it’s true I have grown a little tired of eating them lately, I don’t want to have to stop. If peanuts turn out to be a problem… well that just sucks. I haven’t thought of an alternative yet. I will. Today I’ll just have a small protein bar with lunch to make up the difference, but going forward I’ll find something else.

We’ll see how today’s experiment goes, and then one day next week we’ll do it again and see if we get the same results. Then I’ll decide what to do going forward.

Until then… here’s an airplane for today’s photo a day challenge pic.
