Lesson 1 : Re-Using Ziploc bags
Ok... so I really miss my weekly (sometimes daily) trips to Wal-Mart.... BUT.... I am learning that life goes on without it! I have quickly realized just how many Ziploc bags I went thru in the States. Since I can't get them here, I have begun to recycle them. I remember having to wash these thing out in Guatemala as a kid. Didn't like it then and don't really enjoy this process now but here it is nonetheless!
First, wash in HOT soapy water!
Next, rinse in HOT water with a cap-full of bleach!
Then, hang them upside down on the refrigerator to AIRDRY!
Towel drying adds too many bacteria! :)
(learned this trick from Aunt Lindy!)
Bags will stick till they are dry!
Then you start the process again with Coke Zero bottles to be filled with filtered water!
i just read all your recent posts and tried to catch up with what's going on! i'm so proud of ya'll! you are such an awesome example to all of us back home! we love you and miss you! by the way, is that margaret anne's picture i see on your frig with the ziploc bags?
