Sugar Snap Peas

 

We get this large bag of snap peas from Costco.  They can be eaten raw but I sauteed some minced garlic and green onions in olive oil, added salt and pepper before tossing in the snap peas for  3-5 minutes.  Then I squeezed some lime juice on them.  They are so good.

Press and Go Cars

 

Husband M got these Press and Go cars for Grandson C.  He loves getting toys for C.  These don't require batteries, you push down on them and they go.

We are at the end of February!

Recycling aToothpaste Tube


 I had wondered about recycling toothpaste tubes in this recent post.  I finally decided to try cleaning out this tube for recycling and it was easy!  It just washes out, although my sister thought it wastes water.  It took about 3 minutes.  I am happy with the results.  

Next I will try cutting at tube in half to see if it washes out even more easily.  Another sister suggested this.
