Last Night to Cook

I hate using disposable plates, utensils, and napkins. I hate contributing to more things in a landfill. 

I figured I would use disposable on our last night or two here and our first night or two in Essex. But I underestimated how soon I would to want to give up cooking. The prepping and the cleanup take up too much valuable time. I reluctantly brought out the disposables last week. Many are recyclable, so I feel obligated to clean them, but it's not saving much time, and I'm still generating crap. 

Yesterday was supposed to be the last night to cook. Instead, we ate a late lunch--so we had a salad for dinner. Tonight I cooked the crabcakes--the last from Connecticut with green beans, carrots, and shallots. 

Spent the day doing laundry, running errands, packing, and frankly, fighting with tape dispensers. 

It will be an early night.
