I’m all for avoiding waste, but I think this Thanksgiving tip goes a bit too far:
Try and cook just the right amount of food for your family and friends because nothing is worse than wasted food.
There should be a bit of abundance on Thanksgiving–that’s part of the point. It’s the other 364 days of the year where that advice can work. Besides, what’s better than Thanksgiving leftovers??

You can buy one of these new fancy fridges with air filtration systems to remove ethylene gases or you can use Green Bags

Green bags may be a good idea, but not if you are trying to reduce your use of plastic. A better choice might be a salad/produce bag made of chemical-free terry cloth that is reported to keep salad fixings and other produce fresher longer. These bags are washable and reusable. I have a friend who uses them and she thinks they are great. I’m trying to find a source of the chemical-free, super-absorbant terry cloth so I can make my own bags. The commercial type sells for about $8.
I haven’t heard of these, but I love terry cloth! So this could be like a bath robe for my produce? Do you have a link?
