Tire tracks or sneaker tracks?

We were waiting with anticipation that there would be a new crop of thrown food this past Sunday since the neighbors had a bunch of family over for the day. We were disappointed as the day went on and nothing appeared. BUT... today we have some more bread - and the question - is it a tire track or a sneaker imprint on this lovely piece of oatmeal bread?

Sliced bread makes it's debut...

This weekend, while I was away, my husband thoughtfully documented the neighbor's disposal of some unwanted bread. I am sure this will be one of many bread posts.

The Sandwich Bun

June 6th, 2007

Today's contribution is a leftover end of a hoagie/sub/sandwich. Perhaps you cannot tell, but it contains a fair amount of pickle relish.

The First Documentation

Well, this has been happening for over a year now and these pictures are our first actual documentation of the phenomenon we call "thrown food". This particular food event happened on June 3rd after some family visited the neighbors. They had a cookout and not all the food made it into waiting bellies. As you can see, they passed on some pale frankfurters and one burnt hamburger.

The Explanation

We live in what should be a regular old, dull neighborhood. Old people who've lived here 30 years, young families with kids, middle class, etc. Yet it seems our particular street contains a whole slew of oddities. This blog documents one such oddity - the phenomenon we call "thrown food". Our next door neighbor inexplicably throws food out the front door into the street and lawn. This started over a year ago with a couple slices of bread. Then it was a whole loaf - we thought THAT was overboard. Then one day a macaroni & cheese casserole lay there - the heavier, crusty top on the lawn and the lighter, more agile bottom noodles making it to the street. Wow. So it continued and we saw more casseroles, 3 bean salad, lots of bread and the true masterpiece, the full sized birthday cake. A birthday cake (less one slice), sprawled out on the street, brightly decorated with rosettes and colored frosting. That was the kick in the pants to start this blog. Alas, we did not get a picture. So, let's keep our fingers crossed for something as spectacular as that birthday cake! Posting is dependent on the neighbors throwing some food.....
