I just need to have a little rant where it's "safe"...
WHY do people just put scabby fruit that's better off in the bin into the SOTW basket?
I was SOTW (again) this week and more than half of the stuff went straight into the recycling. There was one apple there that was so icky it was all wrinkly and my finger went through the skin and it was gloopy inside.
When I'm choosing something for the basket, I think "What would I like to receive" - my past four weeks' offerings have been:
A can of diet cherry coke (lots of people commented that they didn't know this was available)
A can of slimline tonic (the class between Christmas and New Year!)
A box of grapes (bought that morning)
A muller light vanilla yoghurt.
Sometimes I do put fruit in, but it's all EDIBLE. If I wouldn't eat it myself, then I wouldn't put it in. On other occasions, I've done food that was "lower" syn than I thought it would be - but nothing above 3 syns - and I write the value on it in permanent marker so the recepient doesn't have to look it up.
What's the basket like at your group? What kind of things would you like to see in them?
