Sluggy's Birthday Boring Blog Giveaway Winner!

Like all good things, my Birthday too, must come to an end.
Yes, it does seem like we've been celebrating this occasion for oh....6 months or so.
But I know y'all are anxious to get it over with and see who won the Box of Personalized Awesomeness!

There were 146 valid giveaway entries over the course of 9 blog posts.
I assigned a number to each valid entry and then used Random.Org to assist me in finding the worthy winner.
And to show you that persistence pays off, the Winner was someone who saw it through to the bitter end and entered on every blog post.  Either they are persistent or they have alot of free time on their hands.....lol

Without further ado, the winning entry was this one.....

Musical Wednesday......Sweeney Todd is My Food Waste Role Model

Once you get past the darkness of the subject matter, Sweeney Todd is a great show and some of Stephen Sondheim's best writing!
I've seen clips of the recent film adaptation but I much prefer the stage version.
Nobody plays the part of Mrs. Lovett better than Angela Lansbury did.
Both George O'Hearn and Len Cariou were great Sweeney's on the stage.

Over here at Don't Read This; It's Boring! we are all about frugality.
I am offering up this musical clip today since it gets to the heart of 2 subjects near and dear to my heart.....frugality and food waste. ;-)

The amount of perfectly good food thrown out in this country is staggering!  While you can't readily change the health laws that govern why businesses are often forced to discard palatable food or the businesses that would rather throw out food than give it away to those in need at the end of the day all in the name of profits, you can keep an eye on YOUR own Personal Food Waste!

Don't buy what you won't/can't eat before it spoils.
When you have leftovers, be sure you find something to do with them besides pitch them into the garbage can.
Reheat and eat......remake them into new dishes......give them away to someone who will eat them......feed your pets......and compost the compost-able materials(not meat or diary).

Here at Chez Sluggy, we use up our Leftovers.  It is very rare for us to have Food Waste like we did 2 years ago when I started my blog.  I am very proud of that fact!

In honor of the concept of Zero Food Waste in this country, I present today's Musical Selection......

I May Not Be Around Much This Week...

I just wanted to mention that I might not be posting much and such this week.
My Mother-In-Law passed away on Saturday evening and we have all the family coming in here this week for the service and all.
So I may be otherwise occupied this week.
I have a few things scheduled to post on the blog tomorrow and later in the week so you shouldn't see a big disruption in stuff to read.

Just a reminder....If you have access to a Shop-Rite and want a $25 Gift Card please see the link on the right sidebar(at the top of the sidebar)about entering to win that.  There are very few entries and I am drawing a winner in 2 DAYS so get your entry in asap!

And the Boring Blog Birthday Giveaway last chance to enter Post is due up Tuesday so look for that too!
