If you use a tablespoon of cream in your coffee a 1/8 teaspoon is more than enough.

Today you can’t just buy raw, unless they know you personally, or have documented papers from a farm, as it could cause stomach distress, for city folk. Kind of like sushi, some have zero issues, others have severe intestinal distress. Oldest is severe lactose intolerant, but can drink raw and never has an issue

Raw has a creamy texture, because not all of the cream is removed. Like honey taste can vary, depending on feed and grass that’s consumed.

Who would have thought. Thanks for the info.

On Mother’s Day you can get a mail truck and have Kramer and Newman drive them to Michigan for recycling. ;)

I started using detergent sheets and shampoo bars because I was traveling and didn’t want to use a check on bag for liquids. Now I use them every day, but I agree with you. I wish there was a place to do plastic bottles.

Publix out front

If you are a resident of Lake County you can take them to the recycle center off of Rolling Acres.

Better results. Stop buying Plastic, use a filter system.

I refuse to buy laundry detergent in plastic bottles. Just look at all the plastic in the laundry aisle. All that will wind up in landfill.

I thought trash was shipped to Georgia?

Wouldn’t any bottle that’s not burned end up in landfills?

Recycling plastic bottles is a fool's errand today. Mist cannot be recycled. Makes more sense to incinerate to produce energy. Otherwise plastic languishes in the landfill.
