Recycling Toothpaste Tube

 

I decided to try cutting the empty tube of toothpaste in half, then wash it out for recycling.  I was surprised at how much was left in what seemed like an empty tube.  However, I washed it out and it is now ready for recycling.  It is a good way to empty the tube.  

I had previously washed out a whole tube for recycling here.

Zoox robotaxi

 

My sister in California told me about Zoox robotaxi that is running in San Francisco and Las Vegas, it is free there for now.  

And I put out my artificial spring flowers, and put away my winter flowers.


Here is my amaryllis in bloom, photo taken yesterday.

Friday Art - Caribou

 

Welcome to Friday Art! 

Showing my blue eyed Caribou (Reindeer) ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2"). Apparently their eyes turn blue in winter, are golden in the warmer weather.

Granulated Garlic versus Garlic Powder

  I saw an Instagram video on the difference between granulated garlic and garlic powder.  Granulated garlic is better, more flavourful.  The same goes for granulated onion versus onion powder.  I will have to gradually replace my supply of these spices as I just have the powder.  I also use a lot of fresh garlic and fresh onion in my cooking, which is even better.  

There are always new things to learn!
