Is there any way around it??

Plastic surrounding food... not good. I first heard about it of course regarding cooking in plastic containers - if you consider a microwave oven event cooking. Then that keeping foods frozen in plastic containers risked degrading the structure of the plastic and getting microscopic, yet cancer-causing, particles or shards ingested in us. And now, it seems, it may just be better to not use the stuff at all.

So what to do? Everything I perused in the grocery store that wasn't in a produce aisle seems to be wrapped, stuffed, containerized, or otherwise touching, plastic or metal. Now metals seem to offer their own set of risks and vulnerabilities. Are we simply destined to suffer or is there a holy grail of food containment out there?

Even as a youngster...

just





knew.

With a view...

I think that today and yesterday may have been the first actual sunny days I have gotten to experience since changing jobs.

I was pretty amazed when I saw todays newspaper's front page picture, because I was looking out my 10th floor windows at the same flippin thing... but in 360 degree format.

I thought I'd share:

This is - -exactly- - my view from my new office in Bellevue…. So beautiful this morning. Too bad no pic, but Mt Ranier and the Cascades were equally as majestic to the south and to the east. I leave for work at 6 am, so I get to see the city come to life, and when the sun is shining… come to light.
