Jon Bloom, over at Wasted Food, has set up a new area on his site for readers to share their tips for minimizing food waste. Our favorite so far:

One of my favorite things to do at our local barbeque place is to ask for a doggy bag for our rib bones. They come home, get simmered into a broth with a little barbeque and smoke flavor, then cook use that broth for cooking beans. Makes me a little less guilty for spending $10 per person on a meal in a restuarant when I can turn the left overs into the basis for another, much cheaper meal.
