It's after-hours at a small Mission grocery store. The green bins have just been put out and I'm sitting on a stoop psyching myself up. A seasoned dumpster diver would have waited a little longer, but I want first pick.
The bin is stuffed with bread, presumably about to expire. I take a bag from the top, easy enough. Then I untie a giant bag of compost; inside it looks a little like a refrigerator crisper that's been abandoned. Some of the food has seen its day, but some can be trimmed and washed to look like new. Read more on The Bold Italic.
