We have alot of plastic yogurt containers. He is the yogurt eater. So we have a bunch and use them to put in cut veggies when we are preparing food. We seldom use real bowls and dishes for little preparatory raw piles of cut food for cooking. I use the lids to place my chopped garlic and herbs temporarily for a few minutes before they get thrown into the cooking mixture. One can carry the lid with contents to the stove and slid the garlic/herbs easily into the bubbling mixture on stove.

Am I correct that leftover tea is good for watering house plants? Seems to work for our ordinary plants.

What can I say, I'm lazy in terms of active, aggressive recycling ideas..but at least I'm still wearing T-shirts around the house that are over 25 years old! My dearie thinks I'm nuts when the neckline starts looking frayed, I will wear it out until it really is dead.
