Transition to glass

I know random, huh? Transition to glass what the heck am I talking about. I am talking about trying hard not to use plastic as much to store and reheat foods. Thanks to my good friend Allison, I started using Pyrex dishes and other glass containers instead of Tupperware or those ziplock things.

So, why am I blogging about this. Well, the top picture is of the glass storage containers, note, they are clean in the top of the dishwasher.
This next picture is of the can of cheap spaghetti sauce that was also in the dishwasher.

This next picture is of the plastic lids and a plastic container that I was washing to put in the recycling. Note the pink tent, similar to what happens when a red sock gets in a white load. Yes, the spaghetti sauce did this to the plastic.

Lesson 1, cheap sauce must be made with green tomatoes, and then dyed with red die. This cannot be good for you, next time I will consider being less of a cheapo and buying better sauce. No promises there.

Lesson 2, stick with glass for storage, if dye leaks into plastic this severely, then I can only imagine what is leaking out of the plastic into my food, when I reheat and store in plastic.

Random, I know...

An optimist will tell you the glass is half-full; the pessimist, half-empty; and the engineer will tell you the glass is twice the size it needs to be. ~Author Unknown
