Today is Thanksgiving Eve and I hope everyone is looking forward to family feast time tomorrow. In the meantime, today is also 'National Use Even if the Seal is Broken Day.' My first reaction to that news was "absolutely not" but then I got to thinking about it. Are there some things I would use even if the seal was broken? I think I've found a loop-hole. Notice it says 'use' not 'eat.' If I saw a small tear in a package of paper towels I wouldn't throw them away but if I found a tear in a bread bag I might hesitate. Of course some bread comes double wrapped (which really irritates me). When it comes to food, I really appreciate foods that come naturally sealed like oranges and bananas and eggs. But lots of things aren't sealed at all and I still eat them, like celery, broccoli and asparagus. I don't think the bands around bananas or the rubber band around celery bunches count as seals. Can you tell my mind is on food. My family famous sweet potato casserole is assembled and waiting in the refrigerator to be baked tomorrow. My daughter-in-law, who is an excellent cook, is hosting this year so all I need to do is bring the sweet potatoes. What a deal. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
