00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:58.800 Sometimes my stepmom Pam came over one time and she was like, Do you have a Benadryl? 00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:06.800 And then I just like gave her our Ziploc bags of all the medicine that we've accumulated over the past like ten years. 00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:14.879 And she was like, Um, I'm just gonna do you a favor and throw most of this away because this is all like five, six, eight, nine years old. 00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:18.160 That's so funny. 00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:22.240 I thought it was literally like a bag of pills, but at least there were like boxes in there. 00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:24.079 Oh no, it's all crammed into the box. 00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:26.720 It's yeah, it's yeah that's uh that's a total tangent. 00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:29.759 Today we're actually talking about food storage, right? 00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:30.800 Is this how we're gonna get it? 00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:33.519 We could Ziploc bag, that could be our our transition. 00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:40.399 Speaking of Ziploc bags, um Yeah, we're talking about food storage in all in all ways. 00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:49.040 And I was like, I did sort of take a little tour of my kitchen before we recorded this, and I was like, oh yeah, there's there's a lot of storage going on in my in my kitchen. 00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:52.240 And it's kind of changed in the last, I don't know, 10 or 15 years. 00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:59.279 Oh so well, like I feel like in my youth I was like a Ziploc bag, more of a Ziploc bag person. 00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:07.839 Just had like, you know, random plastic Tupperware that, you know, it was impossible to find the lid and all this stuff. 00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:15.439 And now as a fully grown adult, I feel like I have more um more glass, definitely. 00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:16.079 Uh-huh. 00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:18.639 And

just more like more systems. 00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:22.319 And I have to say, like, having more systems in the kitchen is wonderful. 00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:22.879 Critical. 00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:23.360 I love it. 00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:24.560 I love it. 00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:32.799 Like, I bought these, just to dive in, I bought these um glass, like one of those sets of glass containers and like from Costco or something. 00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:33.919 From Costco or something. 00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:37.440 And yeah, they're like maybe Pyrex brands, something along those lines. 00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:45.519 And um, they come in like all these different sizes, and one of the sizes that I really love is the like low flat rectangular size. 00:08:45.759 --> 00:09:03.279 And one thing that like nothing makes me feel more like an adult than like if I buy like a giant pack of salami at Costco or something, and it's like in one of those terrible, like really thick plastic things, and you have to like reach into the plastic to get like salami in your hand, it gets all greasy, it's like it's gross. 00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:05.440 It's supposedly they're resealable, but they'd never actually. 00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:21.759 What really makes me feel like an adult is to take those like little rows of salami and then put them in this flat glass thing and stack them in my fridge, and I'm like, gosh, it's like um I'm a garden or something. 00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:24.240 I'm just like Yeah, you need to be featured in a magazine. 00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:25.679 Yeah, I'm like, you want a sandwich? 00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:28.399 Let me pull out my glass container of salami. 00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:33.279 Because it's I don't always do that, but when I do, I'm like, man, should I be doing this all the time? 00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:34.480 Oh, that is so nice. 00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:42.799 Those sets I've been meaning to get because I feel like every couple years I just need to do a refresh and start over with the food storage. 00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:56.960 For at least for like Tupperware that is packing up leftovers or for like the day-to-day food storage, not necessarily like dry storage in the pantry or things like that, but 'cause like I don't know where the lids go. 00:09:57.519 --> 00:10:03.200 You come to realize that there are certain sizes that are just useless to you and they take up very valuable real estate. 00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:06.639 They won't stack because they're like, they don't stack, yeah. 00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:11.039 They have like lids that are just a little bit of a different size. 00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:11.919 I know. 00:10:12.159 --> 00:10:19.600 Um and so I'm const I feel like it's a problem that will probably in my lifetime never be satisfactorily s uh solved. 00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:22.960 But I'm constantly thinking that there's going to be a better solution. 00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:24.399 And the glass stuff too. 00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:26.000 I

just want it all to be glass now. 00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:27.600 I don't want any of the plastic stuff. 00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:37.039 That's sort of what I do, except so like glass is what I use for all my leftovers, for all my salami stacking needs. 00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:42.960 Like all that stuff is glass, and that like lives in a drawer in my kitchen, and I use it constantly. 00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:46.000 It's probably the most constant thing that I use in my kitchen. 00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:52.639 And the real benefit of that glass stuff is I feel like it makes leftovers actually appealing and like leftover food appealing. 00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:57.120 Whereas when you put it in like a plastic Tupperware, I feel like it just feels kind of yucky. 00:10:57.600 --> 00:10:57.840 Yeah. 00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:00.240 It just doesn't it doesn't really I never thought about that. 00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:00.799 I know what you mean. 00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:01.200 Yeah. 00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:06.240 So in glass, I'm like, oh, this is a delightful piece of leftover chicken in a Tupperware. 00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:07.600 I'm like, yuck, you know. 00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:10.240 And for reheating, it's nice with those glass ones. 00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:12.399 You can just like throw the thing right back right into the oven. 00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:13.919 Yeah, yeah. 00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:17.679 Right into the microwave, right into the it's great in that way. 00:11:17.759 --> 00:11:18.480 It's so great. 00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:22.720 But then I feel like I can't totally get rid of my like plastic Tupperware. 00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:35.519 So I used to just have like a little shopping bag that I stuffed into this closet near the kitchen that was like my like plastic stuff, where like if I'm putting like broth in the freezer, I'm not gonna use one of those glass things. 00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:37.919 I'm gonna use like a Chinese food container. 00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:48.399 Um or if I'm made pesto and I'm putting in the freezer, or I am sending some leftovers home with someone, I'm gonna give them like one of these plastic things that I don't really necessarily need back. 00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:58.639 But that I really need to go through because if you go through some sort of freezer, you're using all the stuff in your freezer, then suddenly the bag overflows, and then I can't stuff it in the closet anymore, which is where I am right now. 00:11:58.960 --> 00:11:59.279 Oh. 00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:02.960 So I need to go through that and toss some stuff. 00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:10.879 Yeah, I mean I I said that I want things to be all glass, but that's definitely not the reality of my of my Tupperware storage right now. 00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:32.799 Just because I give a lot of food away, I feel like there's a lot of transport of food happening in my life that I always have those quart deli containers, and I find them to be so handy and I know that and I know that they're
