So, tonight we went to Daddy’s work for dinner. He had a shift where he works alone until midnight so he can’t leave. (No, it’s not the night shift at AM/PM.) Of course, it wasn’t difficult for me to offer to bring him something from a local restaurant to which he responded with an invitation for us to stay and eat with him. Anyway, we had a nice time chatting about an upcoming road trip while the girls played air hockey with a tissue box – which was quite entertaining, I might add. But I have to say the most interesting part for me, was realizing how GREEN his work is. Like many companies, they provide food utensils for the employees but these were unlike any utensil I have ever used! They were strangely pliable, and had a soft, familiar texture. Of course, I had to ask about them, and my husband tells me they were made from potatoes! So intriguing, and I couldn’t help but realize that the familiarity I felt between my fingers, was that of a french fry. Well, more like a raw potato ready to be dipped into a vat of grease. ANYWAY, I digress. Just wanted to say tonight I had a “green” moment, and for someone who is admittedly not as GREEN as some may like, I rather enjoyed it.
Oh, you can see the utensils here (though I can’t say for sure WHERE the company gets theirs. http://www.inhabitat.com/2007/10/13/spudware-cutlery-made-from-potatoes/
