Ironically, we've always used block butter for our cooking, so it wasn't hard to simply buy extra blocks to use as spread. We continually use the hard plastic container (in the above image) which we simply place the butter block into - and the best part is, the only rubbish which goes in the bin is paper.
A very simple strategy I'm surprised I didn't key into sooner.
For easy spreading, I keep the plastic container in the pantry where it's cooler and it's right next to the spreads too. So I'm not opening the fridge every time I want to make a sandwich. In summer, with the heat, that's a good thing! It means less energy consumption too.
Win, win!!
We moved the same way years ago too Chris. Margarine is only one molecule away from plastic, hearing that was enough for me. I shred my paper and throw it in the compost that goes around the flower bed:)
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you can successfully compost the paper molly. I had considered doing this too, but wasn't sure how quickly it would break down.
ReplyDeleteGoes to show I haven't mastered the art of good composting yet, LOL.
