Pantry

[fabrisse]

I'm having a hard time writing my pantry post. But I want to tell you about one staple of my pantry -- powdered Gatorade.

Yes, it tastes foul. It's supposed to. If it tastes good, you need it. If it tastes like water -- and that's happened to me once -- you were severely dehydrated.

I like the powdered version because it keeps. It's on hand for emergencies. I'm facing my first real weekend of DC heat today and tomorrow. Swimming and Gatorade will be important.

Yes, you can drink pickle juice if you like. Seriously, it works. But I don't always have pickles in my fridge.

Ah, you have a city that cares about recycling. It's not too bad in DC, but there were some places in Massachusetts where you had to drive to a recycling center. No curbside pick up.

In Brussels, they picked up garbage on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Recycling was picked up on Wednesdays. This was in 1978.

That's pretty cool. Here in Everett, we've been recycling via waste management since the late 80s. Only ten years behind Brussels. Not too bad, considering.
