Life Without Plastic - Day 13
Feb. 13th, 2015 04:04 pmWarming up and having a late lunch after a very cold visit to visit my horse. Lunch is ramen noodles, which come wrapped in plastic. I buy them in bulk containers (I have kids), so that means more plastic. This leads to two existential questions:
1) would it have been possible to invent and market ramen noodles without convenient plastic wrap?
2) Is life worth living without ramen noodles or other pasta? Full disclosure - pasta is my absolute favourite food.
Bulk Barn sells pasta, but I'll need to organize appropriate cloth bags. I could make pasta from scratch, as I own a pasta maker (I even have a ravioli attachment). This will add significantly to the time involved in pasta preparation. I will also need to figure out drying racks, or develop recipes that can be used up in a single dish. As much as I love pasta, there are limits to how much two people can eat when it is freshly made.
