e a consoada e o exagero da comida e os restos que duram a semana seguinte, ou mais…
Esta semana encontrei uma boa ajuda para os restos do Natal e Ano Novo em Left over Chef. Já fiz algumas experiências e hoje experimentei uma tortilha com os restos que tinha dentro do frigorífico. Com a ajuda de umas ervinhas aromáticas e uns cogumelos, penso que ficou bastante bem.
Tenho que voltar a experimentar mais algumas coisas.

One of our major concerns nowadays is the environment. Many problems were already identified, and the packages that we use in our products are one of them. Everything has its package. Even the bread came in plastic bags. I found in my cousin blog one interesting way of showing the problem to the public, and one interesting way to prevent it. But it’s really necessary this “innovation”? Or, we just have to remember how it was before?
When I was younger, I never went buy bread without my bread bag. I never bought packed fruit. Packed fish?! Packed meat?! So, why don’t we ask our parents or grandparents how they did survive without packages? I think it’s simpler and we don’t have to think so much about it.
Oh, the problem its the hygiene. I don’t really think so. Today we are able to kill even the smallest bug with the most strange technology. Why don’t we improve this aspect of the question, and start to leave the packages?
Why don’t we make the exercise of counting the Tons of garbage that each one makes at home only from packages. Maybe this way we can pass this problem to each person head. And I believe that many people will change their habits.
I don’t believe in recycling as a solution, only as a remedy. I believe it’s necessary to prevent the use before we start using.
