No plastic! Hooray! And they were excellent.
But today, I ended up with a bottle cap from a glass bottle of vinegar (for cleaning). Boo. Our Whole Foods used to have bulk olive oil and vinegar, but no more. I wouldn't have been able to afford that vinegar for cleaning anyway. So plastic caps it is.
Plastic Tally: 1
Also on the agenda today is some homemade hummus from scratch. I will let you know how it goes.
Well done! My Whole Foods doesn't have bulk vinegar either. And the olive oil in the bulk section costs a bundle! I feel as though I am penalized there for trying to cut out the plastic waste :(
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get the blue Ball jar? I have only clear ones.
I feel the same way-the only place to get bulk olive oil is a really fancy (not close by) specialty store that has VERY EXPENSIVE olive oil. So Whole Foods brand organic olive oil in a glass jar for me. Oh well. I think there are other places I can focus on reducing waste, so I'm not going to make myself crazy.
DeleteThey sell the new blue Ball jars in America as a 100th anniversary limited edition thing. I bought them a while ago, and unfortunately, the box they come in is encased in plastic. I have a couple extra, and could send them if you like, or I'm sure people are selling them used on ebay! I am a mason jar hoarder, according to my husband :)
