The scene inside my dryer a few days ago:
A freshly washed and dried bulb of garlic, scattered into cloves and lovely detached garlic skins.
It was a fluttery, though amusing mess. On the floor. On the towels. And in my dryer. Not the biggest mess I’ve ever made (that involved unformed Jell-O), but close.
Amazingly, the laundry didn’t smell like garlic!
What’s the lesson here?
Even when you think you’ve checked your reusable bags, check again.
A few weeks ago I washed a bottle of saline spray. Seems like I have a problem.
It’s good to wash your bags, and to select the type of bags that are machine washable. You don’t want bacteria on your food stuff. Yet, you don’t want to wash your garlic either.
From now on, I’m going to turn each bag inside out before washing. Lesson learned. Garlic wasted.
As silly as this was, at least I wasn’t embarrassed like not so long ago when the grocery store manager who was helping bag picked up the silky-like, colorful ChicoBags and loudly exclaimed, “Looks like you brought your underwear!”
Do you have a reusable bag story to share?
