I'll tell you what to look for when knife shopping and how to save money on them! Thanks for the comment. I'd love to be a chef too, but would hate to be all my feet all day. It does feed my creative side, in addition to my belly! Wait to buy anything until my next post, Lori! I’ll tell you what to look for when knife shopping and how to save money on them!

Publix, my favorite grocery store, comes out with a different Breast Cancer Awareness reusable bag every October, so I have a couple of different pink bags. This one is the most vibrant, though. I have tons of Publix bags because they were free with a coupon on the box of Cheerios, and Cheerios were buy one get one free... let's just say good thing I like Cheerios! I don't rinse and reuse bags that held meat, or food that would be a pain to clean off the bags, but I have used the same bag for a new block of cheese after I finish the old. I wonder if I should stop that, based on your comments. If bread or cheese has gone moldy, I definitely toss the bag, but guess I need to go a little further than that sometimes! Hey Whitney,

I know I need to get a bit more green in the kitchen. I know I really should reuse my ziplocks (except for cheese and meat- they say to not reuse bags that hold cheese or meat because of the bacteria and increase risk of food poisoning). BTW I love your cloth bags! The pink one is my favorite, I remember being little and watching my mom use ours because we got a discount for bringing our own bags, I was so embarrassed! Then again I was 5. Now I wish I had more cute ones that I could use. Great Post! I know I need to get a bit more green in the kitchen.

I have a black plastic compost bin that my city offered at a reduced price several years ago. I still don't compost as much as I should, but those biobags work great because I can toss the whole bag in the compost instead of trying to dump out a pail or grocery bag. They weren't cheap (about a quarter a bag), but they hold a lot. I put some shredded paper in the bottom of a new bag, to absorb any veggie liquids while the bag stays on the counter. I might have been known to just set the bag on the back step for a day or two until I make the trek out to the compost bin. The bags break down, but thankfully not right away! Hey Tammy!

I am working on those very same 7 steps! I was nodding my head all through the whole post. :) Although, I'm just on the infant stages in some of them. For example....I don't actually have a compost pile, yet. Do you use a compost bin? Or do you just have a pile? I really need to just take the plunge and start one. I think of it every single time I have something that could be tossed into it. (banana peels, egg shells...etc) Love this post. I am working on those very same 7 steps!

]]> Comment on Lessons learned from burnt bacon by Angela http://www.kitchenstuffilove.com/2011/04/lessons-learned-from-burnt-bacon/comment-page-1/#comment-959 Angela Thu, 21 Apr 2011 14:45:02 +0000 http://www.kitchenstuffilove.com/?p=279#comment-959 Yes! The bacon was good, and so was everything else! Fantastic brunch as always, and while Hubby may have not been thrilled with the bacon, the rest of us munched happily along with everything else. :) It was a great brunch! My burnt bacon: burnt salmon and pan I was searing it in. I was having an argument with my boss over the phone and forgot all about my salmon on HIGH! The house suddenly filled with smoke and I rushed in and grabbed it right as it caught fire, and rushed out and threw it in my yard! Goodbye nice ceramic fry pan, so long salmon! It was awful....I made my boss replace my pan and told him we would never discuss business after work again. And we haven't. :) When I leave at 5:18, I'm done. That was about 2 years ago and I have had several correctly cooked salmon dinners since then....Thanks dear! It really was a great meal! Yes! The bacon was good, and so was everything else!
