repurposing is my middle name! i just finished making a salad to bring with me where i am going today. i took the red cabbage out of a bag i saved from another product, and i put the whole salad into a plastic container that richard wanted to throw away because i had already used what was in THAT but it has a lid and is perfect for carrying the salad. in japan i used the rice cooker to make chili, spaghetti or maztaball soup, and i used empty plastic containers that the japanese would have thrown away (and then paid to replace with ugly tupperware-type stuff). hoarder? not i! i am just practical!
