[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My MIL keeps a small plastic bowl on a windowsill in her kitchen for trash. It is so difficult to figure out what the heck to do with trash when our family visits. They don’t have a garbage disposal either. I just started packing our own trash bags.[/quote]

Is she one of those people who produces 1.5 pounds of garbage every 10 years?

But I keep an empty tuna can on my counter for the bits that the sink strainer collects (no garbage disposal) and then empty into the garbage from it, to avoid dumping the wet bits into the trash from the dishcloth.

Also, when I wash clothes I put the plastic cap used to measure the liquid detergent (firmly opposed to pods and would actually buy dry laundry detergent if I didn't have to drive miles to a big box store to find it) in the machine. Not only uses all the detergent but avoid the dribbles of laundry detergent on the container. [/quote]

Can you not just freehand it? I have not measured detergent in years (and you need so little--like half of what the cup measures--I had a laundry sink for years that let me watch the water draining. It was still soapy during the rinse cycle unless i used very little). [/quote]

I haven't measured coffee grounds in years, either. So freeing.

I've never tried freehand (I think I'd be worried about too much) but I like the way you think. [/quote][/quote]
