How We're Rolling

We're packing up our household goods, including pots, pans, plates, mugs, glasses and cutlery. We planned to use second hand items of crockery and cutlery from our local Swap Shed in the interim, instead of using disposable paper and plastic goods. 

This satisfies my recycling and resourceful side. Once we're done with all the borrowed kitchenware, we'll return it to the Swap Shed.

I'm also rinsing out jam jars, yogurt containers and coffee canisters to use now that I'm packing away my food canisters. No need for disposables yet ...

We've been using up all kinds of dry goods and condiments found at the back of our pantry shelf and at the bottom of our chest freezer. Quite interesting to have unexpected condiments. I find myself being brave and resourceful, substituting things I wouldn't' normally dream of has yielded some okay results. Daring myself not to throw food away, I created a pasta 'sauce' using a combination of Woodstock organic jalapeno relish, Mark's left-behind salsa, sour cream and cheese. We quite enjoyed it!
