Yesterday we went on a quest to find the famed glass bottled milk of Gort renowned to be located at Heartland Foods. After an extensive search we found the address listed on the map; 709 Tagish. This turned out to be their old location. The nice people now located there redirected us to the new location on Tranquille. Their new location is really well hidden.
Once inside we learned that while they do sell glass bottled milk, there was only one bottle in stock and it expired that day. We will return once it's been replenished.
Next we went grocery shopping. We needed a few ingredients for a dish Sheri wants to make; Chicken broth and cooking sherry. We bought canned broth. I've heard that some cans are lined with plastic. So far we are not letting that stop us unless we know a can is lined with plastic so we bought the canned broth. We couldn't buy cooking sherry because every bottle had plastic seals wrapped around the lid. We'll use a substitute but it's always disappointing when we can't find a product without plastic on it.
So far our day has been challenging and we've met with limited success - but it gets worse.
At this point we're running too far behind to make supper and we are hungry. We decided to go to Harold's. Restaurants are tricky. First they ambushed us with straws. We knew we should have mentioned it when we first arrived but we were both careless. Straws aren't really packaging by most definitions but they are just as disposable.
Next they stuck some toothpicks on Sheri's sammich. Wrapped around the toothpicks was a little cellophane decoration. I think this qualifies as packaging. Sheri disagrees. In either event we agree that both the straws and the toothpicks go against the principle of our endeavor.
Six days into year and we now have two dishonorable mentions for our box of shame. Three hundred and fifty-nine days to go.
