Organic Mold

Finding a bunch of green fuzzy bumps on the inner rim of the glass jar of organic strawberry jam reminded me of two things:
1. Products with fewer preservatives have a limited shelf-life.
2. Everything we buy to eat should be thought about as a this-week item, not a some-day item.

With the exception of emergency supplies, getting in the habit of buying fresh food and using it up promptly is just a good general rule. If I did it more, I'd less often find myself in a fuzzy jam.
