cardboard straw

cardboard straw


garden salad


prime rib


We went out for a nice steak dinner this past weekend. I had been feeling tired for days and thought I could use some iron. It is interesting that the restaurant is now serving drinks with cardboard straws. I heard that one restaurant is using pasta strands as straws (penne?).

Your meal looks great, and good that they are not using plastic straws. I grew up with paper straws, the plastic ones have only been around for a relatively short time. Hugs, Valerie

Gotta wonder how well that holds up....but I am happy to hear that. Although a plastic straw will not take up a lot of room in a landfill they don't rot away and if you think of the amount thrown away daily....WOW. I have been looking at a metal one to carry with me so that I have it when I need it. I am a recycler so being able to have a recyclable straw is cool.

I like that type of dinner, but I like my prime rib done medium. Wow, I have not seen cardboard straws in Hawaii, yet.

It's a major change, new straw policies. I like the idea.
For those unable to use the glass without, there are so many options now.
Yummy steak!

I've noticed these new straws. I'm very happy about that! A lot of plastic straws end up in our oceans, polluting the water and killing marine life. I'm very pleased to see that some places are being ethical and responsible.

There are lots of cardboard & stainless steel straws popping up here in the western US. Pasta might not work unless you could also offer the gluten-free version :)
The meal looks so yummy...

I didn’t see in person a cardboard straw, in Turkey plastic ones are still in use.

I am all for trying to stop the plastic pollution problem, but sometimes only a plastic straw will do. metal ones are very hard to clean properly and the paper ones do not last long enough. plastic bendy straws are a god send for disabled people who can't move their necks or heads "normally"

Your meal looks delicious …

I think many places are phasing out plastic straws and using cardboard ones :)

All the best Jan

PS Hope your energy levels return soon, and your tiredness goes.
