Living Green: today vs. yesteryear

by Lucky Red Hen on March 24, 2011

The following photos show you how I grease my muffin tins. Did you WANT to know how I grease my stuff? Maybe you didn’t KNOW you wanted to know. And perhaps you’re NOT as big a F.R.I.E.N.D.S. fan as as I am (here’s a little clip of Chandler speak).

A little piece of plastic wrap, wrapped around my middle fingers
(not just THE middle finger, ALL the middle fingers).

The backside is where I gather the excess plastic
then hold it down with my thumb.

See how my fingers stay all clean and shiny?
Well, maybe not SHINY, but if I were a robot I could say that literally.

I am NOT a robot (in case you were wondering about THAT too). Maybe I could play one on TV (probably not).

Either way, robot or not, I am thinking I DON’T need to use the plastic wrap to grease my stuff anymore.]

Stay with me here… What would happen if I JUST used my fingers, au naturale? Here’s what would happen… I would save the landfill a strip of non-biodegradable plastic wrap (not that I cook often enough to really make a difference, but still) AND moisturize at the same time O_o

And my hands have been CRAZY dry and brittle lately (sigh). So now I vow to just use my (clean) fingers to grease my muffin tins, baking dishes, and whatever else needs lubed so food doesn’t stick.

I didn’t realize I was being green when I used my clean fingers to grease my pans. I feel so proud!
