More handy advice from your local council

Brookhaven town now has single stream recycling meaning all forms of cardboard, paper, glass, plastic, metal.... go out together. They invested in some kind of super-sorter to make life easier for us. Food-stuff however is not on the recycle list. I do much of my own food recycling in my compost piles. All sorts of non-meat left overs, pealings, rinds get turned into dirt. My garbage can is barely half full most pickup days but I had to add a second recycle can.

gob, aren t people insulted by such instructions?

...or do they actually need them?

100 gm (nearly a quarter pound) of pasta seems like a lot, unless that's all you're having. Even with a salad, I would think half that would be sufficient. Usually if I serve pasta I plan 6-8 persons per pound.

That's cooked weight, BigRR, not dry. The recommended serving is 2oz dry which is about 4oz cooked.

Wes, c'mon, what most people know about nutrition could barely fill a postcard. Even less on recycling and composting. I think the advice is useful. How is education ever bad?

Guin--I can't tell from the photo, but I would think you'd weigh a portion of pasta dry, not wet (just as you'd measure dry spaghetti in a measurer. But if you are correct, then the amount sounds about right.

Well, I'm sure Guin is a woman-size woman so your weight estimate appears grossly inadequate... Besides, I don't think that avatar pic is really Guin!

Is it?

Hitting the punch a bit early Meade?

Another abusive post about Roman Catholic priests!

What?

Oh.

Pedagogy.

Sorry.

Lame joke.

Sorry, it is.

eta: I only gave it three stars out of pity.
