Out with the plastics!

A couple months ago made a real honest to goodness green decision. There is a place within me that wishes I could say it was altruistic for the good of the earth and the future of all life, including mankind, imagine that backwardness. However, is was due to a health emergency the details of which I am unwilling to divulge publicly, specifically because it relates to one of my children. If you want to know... ask privately, I may share for your individual benefit. So, armed with parent guilt, it was mission impossible here, get rid of as much plastic food containers as possible, including cups, plates, storage, ziplocs, purchased food and sauces(especially anything acidic.) The result, a slow, but easier transition. Our grandparents were just begining the introduction to Tupperware and I have picked a few octogenarian brains for inspiration resulting in gifts of antique glass containers, lids included. Also, for those of endeavoring to move in this direction, walmart, kroger and Target all seem to be accomodating this demand for glass containers, they are providing a plethora of choices! So, as I open the cup cabinet and view the abundance of jelly jars... I smile a glorious realization that we have officially become a rural Tennesseee family, gotta love it!!!
