mh - over really benign stuff
why are we extremely stressed over the fact that we ordered food, got the wrong food delivered, and then got the right food but don't know what to do with the old wrong food now
just
don't want to waste food but also we can't eat this, we can't stand onions and they missed the note on the order that said no onions
we were going to offer it to the delivery driver who brought the right food but then they left before we had a chance
why is this so stressful and bad
re: mh - over really benign stuff, a suggestion
@Felthry Any chance you have contact info for anyone living near you to offer "hey want free food?"
re: mh - over really benign stuff, a suggestion
@starkatt no one we know well enough to not sound like one of those things where someone's phone is compromised and sends out automated messages to everyone on the contact list
re: mh - over really benign stuff, a suggestion
@Felthry Aw. Well, sunk cost I guess.
re: mh - over really benign stuff
@Felthry would it be possible to manually excise the onions?
re: mh - over really benign stuff
@windyorigami not to a degree that would work for us i'm afraid
re: mh - over really benign stuff
@Felthry *nods* i'm sorry this had to happen to you. i assume food donations only accept prepackaged foodstuffs?
re: mh - over really benign stuff
@Felthry i'm not very knowledgeable on the topic, but could the food be used as part of compost?
re: mh - over really benign stuff
@windyorigami don't know anything about that either, and that still feels like a waste of good food x.x.x
re: mh - over really benign stuff
@Felthry *sigh* at least it wasn't an exceedingly large quantity of food.
speculation and sympathies re: mh - over really benign stuff
@Felthry food waste feels pretty awful and powerlessness sucks
it wasn't your fault, but that also means you weren't ready for it
which makes sucky things suck more
*offers virtual hugs*

resolution re: mh - over really benign stuff
Ended up printing out a note explaining that it's free food and putting it on a frequently-used staircase
