The "Oh crap, everything is going bad!" dinner

salad, toast, and beer

The more you get into food, especially the fresh stuff, the easier it is to go a little foodie crazy and buy too much. Unfortunately, for me, it's become something of a habit. I'm a sucker for tasty, fresh vegetables, but between busyness and impromptu dinners out, I am often faced with a fridge fool of food about to go bad. But at least I'm consistent, because the fridge-cleaning meal almost always looks like the picture above.

For me, it's always a collection of vegetables, some sort of cheese, and a pesto or similar topping that really needs to be eaten. Without fail, I'll whip up a salad, some toast with topping and cheese, and pull a beer out of my beer fridge. (I realize the Mort Subite doesn't go with the meal, but it was the only bottle that was cold.)

Do you have this same problem? What does your "everything is going bad!" dinner look like?

I can also throw in leftovers of other meals, and odd bits of whatever I can find in the fridge/pantry/cupboards. It almost invariably ends up delicious as well.
