This morning was the last of the bread, toasted was the way to go out in style. Knowing there are reserves of waste-stream food stashed for this weekend, I headed through the town to get more practice in the major dumpsters around here. Nothing stuck out at me that I'd be comfortable with consuming.
For lunch, a Euro turkey on a 9 grain bun from yesterday's trash collection. Then I headed to
campus to get some more work done. Found some carrots and the chicken or tuna salad wrap. I've had this wrap before, and I'm still not sure on what it is, it just smells like mayonnaise!
I did a sweep of the library before it closed: NOTHING. Really, Nothing! Low activity in the Slippery Rock University student body consumer waste-stream. Why? We'll it had to be my influence on the campus! Now that people see me reaching in the trash can for there food, they stopped wasting it ... either that...or, the snow storm prevented any activity.
Now, on the way home, I was realizing the moment could have been one of desperation, because if this had been a day where I didn't have a stash things would have been different. I had found very little on the campus and all the buildings were locked. This day, I was digging in the cans outside to scrounge up some more frozen carrots, the left-overs of another chicken/tuna mystery salad wrap, a cookie, a piece of bread, and a cooked egg object, (all frozen).

Kind of upset, until I made it home to see my housemates had tossed some movie theater popcorn! Then I decided to dump our house trash can into the hopper, and found a good sized, delicious, chicken wrap, and what I think was a Ruben sandwich. If this is true, then this is my first Ruben sandwich that I've ever had in my life, that I'm aware of. Sort of a bid deal because I'm typically a non meat eater. Typically, outside of this experiment, I support the movement toward raising local, free-range, healthy livestock, but do not purchase or consume it. So I had already come to terms with the fact that I may never have a Ruben, but thanks to this experiment "dreams" do come true.
