Worm Food, 060411

My worm food collection was primarily from my own kitchen, now that the apartment craziness has quit and coworkers seem to have forgotten that they could save worm food in the freezer.

I had Nate's hair and Ali's bread left from last week, plus four 8-cup Glad containers of goods.

The worms were fed

• the majority of Ali's bread
• the last two ancient onions from last week
• some basil stems and leaves
• some new onion skins
• a couple gluten-free lasagna noodles
• carrot peels
• corn cobs, husks and silks
• lettuce "bones" and outer leaves
• turnip peels
• parsnip peels
• celery root peels, and
• little garlic cloves and skins

That left me with all of Nate's hair and just a few of Ali's sandwich rounds.

I'll be honest, I'm a little more freaked about Nate's hair than I thought I'd be. I'm not sure if I should just dump it into a worm bin as is or if I should *eek* take scissors to chop Nate's hair up and disperse it among the five bins. This coming weekend, I'll have made a decision on the hair.

And if you're wondering about what that thing was in Number 5, I have no answer. By the time I got around to feeding the worms it was getting toward twilight and by the time I fed Number 5 I had a hard time distinguishing any one thing from another. Chances are though, it was a peeled banana. If I find that thing intact this weekend, I'll seriously stroke out.
