So this happens to me. I think I’ll be cooking s bunch of things, but then I’m in a crunch and don’t have as much time as I thought so I whip up quicker options. That means that okra, eggplant or whatever it was I though I was going to make doesn’t and I’m making something else. When I look after the middle of the week I might have a couple of these items piled up, in addition to the things I already had planned to cook, so I’m left with more things than I can cook and by the time I might get to them, they’re past their useful date.
