As you could probably guess, styrofoam egg cartons bug the crap out of me. I usually buy the organic eggs from Safeway and they come in cardboard cartons. But when we got out to the Hutterite colony I can buy local eggs for less then half the price of the organic. Problem is, they come in styrofoam cartons. So the last time we went out, I took the old, heirloom egg basket that I acquired from one of my grandmothers, and got the nice Hutterite lady (Sarah) to get me eggs without a carton. Straight from the cardboard flat, the eggs went into my basket and came home that way. Now, the Hutterites will take the cartons back for re-use, but they can only be re-used so many times before they are worn out. This just takes me out of the loop and removes my responsibility for that carton. Remember ... there are always options. P.S. - if you have an option of buying eggs directly from the layers (or their owners) I don't think you need a special baske...
Not to be exclusive, because people from many different countries have viewed pages - but the Russian reader has come back again and again. I'm curious about anyone who reads this and doesn't know me personally, though, so leave a comment if you wish.
ReplyDeleteYa know, I thought I had Russian readers as well, and then I researched it and discovered that a site was spamming my stats and trying to get me to click on a porn link. I was so thrilled that I had all these Russian fans! So I looked at the referring sites and... ha.
ReplyDeleteOMG - you are SO right. And here I thought I was an international blogger. But you know what's great? I no longer care if the only people reading my blog are my friends. I write it for myself, really, not the audience, so it really doesn't matter who reads it. Had you told me this a year ago I might have been crushed. Now I'm slightly let down and think it's kinda funny!
ReplyDeleteI know, right. It's nice to have a few moments of thinking: "look, at me, closing the cultural divide!"
