Comments on: Plastic Challenge: Kristin, Week 36 http://myplasticfreelife.com/showyourplastic/2011/11/plastic-challenge-kristin-week-36/ Take the challenge. Collect your plastic waste (both recyclable and non) for one week or more. Then photograph, tally, and post it here. What can we learn about our habits and lifestyles by examining our waste? And what changes can each of us make to leave the planet a little less trashy?

DIY Artificial insemination anyone?

I’ll be on the lookout for a non-plastic basting options over Christmas. The last turkey we cooked barely fit in the roasting pan, and we could hardly get the baster down to the bottom, so in this instance ladling was definitely not an option. Not that we need a 22lb turkey between the two of us…

I wish amazon.com would ship to Canada (or that amazon.ca had anywhere near the items that .com does!) I miss out on SO many cool things!

I just discovered there are also glass ones. Amazon has a bunch of them.

I can’t remember where I got it, but if you search metal turkey baster on google there are some results. Maybe you can find something like that.

My mom always used a ladle to baste turkey. We never had a plastic baster. But I Google “how to baste a turkey without a turkey baster” and came up with this result:

People swear by cooking it upside down. Good luck. I think turkey basters are made possible by plastic.
