@BethTerry Oh and I don't believe St. Paul is considering a ban on styrofoam at this time... I'll certainly put in a request, tho!
@BethTerry Great point, Beth. I'm an avid baker, and have been thinking about making him caramels and wrapping them in wax paper. It's just finding the time to do that on a regular basis seems a bit challenging.
By the way - I was roaming your website after posting this week's challenge and discovered the evil truth about milk cartons being lined with plastic - yikes! I just thought it was the caps I had to worry about - so we'll be switching to glass bottles this week.
Thanks for providing such a great resource!
Felicitations et bon courage!
Beth - good tips! We don't normally keep orange juice in the house, but made an exception because we had a house guest for the week. The greeting cards were free from my mom's copious stash, but yes, normally I do make my own cards. As for the toothbrush - get this: the dental hygienist handed it to me in the office and when I declined it she said "oh but we just used it to clean your bite-plate - so we would have to throw it out." !!! So next time I plan to bring that same brush in for them when they do their semi-annual cleaning.
Wow! I'm impressed!
