I discovered the tasty papaya. The only time I’ve eaten this fruit was in Mexico, but now it’s in my kitchen. I also found out that even the seeds are edible.

Today I made a huge pot of vegetable soup using all fresh vegetables. Instead of trimming the leaves off of the celery and carrots, I threw them in the pot.

Since the beginning of this challenge, I have not use plastic garbage bags in the house. I am placing my organics in an old cat litter pail outside. I have noticed that my garbage accumulation has shrunk significantly. So I have recycling, garbage, and organics is the only extra effort I have gone through.

I am posting a picture of my pride and joy. I have washed and recycled, plastic Ziplock bags for YEARS! I purchased this plastic bag drying rack from an “eco-fair” about 10 years ago before “eco-fairs” were cool! I’ve had to repair it once, but it is served me well. I am now washing and reusing product Ziplock bags, and in some cases these bags...

I wonder if anyone sells glue stick refills?

Grateful for stores that don't package their produce - Aldi needs to work on that.
