Better containers

I hate plastic containers. Those clear-ish ziploc containers with the blue lids are fucking ugly. They never look 100% clean, the plastic is cloudy and horrible, and they hold on to odours. Never put curry or garlic into one of those babies.

I bought some awesome glass "tupperware" and I love it. Great for brining lunches to work and storing stuff in the fridge. I posted a while ago about mini Nutella jars and how they make awesome containers (and milk glasses - perfect for drinking milk with your nutella toast!)

I really love glass mason jars: cheap, reuseable, sterilizeable, and pretty. Great for keeping rice and dried beans and shiitakes in - everything stays fresh and super dry. They are also handy in for leftovers - soup, salsa, pasta sauce...

The best thing about mason jars? They won't crack if you add boiling water to them, making mason jars the perfect container for iced tea and bubble tea! Brew your tea in the jar, cool it down, and throw it in your backpack. Mason jars are totally leak-proof, so you don't need to worry about it spilling before you get to work or school or your sunny-day picnic in Gatineau Park.

Go get some mason jars and fall in love!
