Plan your Dinner in Time!
It is March 10, 2020 - 6:00 pm…
I am a little bit in a hurry. Actually, end of work had to be at 4:00 pm, but then there was the unexpected phone conference. I have to buy the ingredients for dinner with my wife and my children. I promised to get everything after work. But now it I am afraid that I am a little late. You might ask: “Why too late? Shops are open till late night, sometimes until midnight.” Yes this is true, nothing changed so far. But the range of goods in the shops is different. If you went to the food store in 2011 at the evening, you get almost everything you want. Fruits, vegetables, meat… And everything which was not sold at close time, especially perishables, was thrown away, only to satisfy each customer in her or his culinary affectation whenever she or he entered a shop.
In 2020 you do not get fresh meat in the evening. If you want to have a steak for dinner, you have to buy it in the morning or a day before. But most food in the shops is supplied from regional originators. Meat comes from neighborhood farmsteads and milk products, fruits and vegetables are not transported thousands of kilometers to reach the store. Nevertheless prices are acceptable.
Certainly, this structure now becomes a fate to me. Actually, we wanted to have spicy pork steak with string beans and pasta for dinner. But just when I arrive at the meat counter, a young lady gets the last portion pork steak. Now I have to improvise. Our children still do not know what we wanted to eat and my wife is flexible. “Let’s reduce the meal to pasta with a delicious sauce”, I think. I stroll between the vegetable shelves and – yeah! - I am lucky. There are still tomatoes and some fresh herbs. Onions and garlic are at home. Everything is fine.
After I went home and my wife and I cooked the sauce, we relish the meal. The tomatoes are so fruity and aromatic. There is not a patch on the water tasting ones from around the world, which I had to buy during studying.

Interesting. Haven't thought of this way to save food. Really no need to throw away tons of food only to satisfy every customer.
