Hi Dave,
RH> Either that, or put it all on a plate if you're eating in. No need
RH> to wrap burger and fries separatly.
DD> Fats Food joints (the biggest offenmder) do not offer plates nor
DD> silver ware. Styro boxes and plastic sporks and knives - at best.
RH> I know, it's a thought but will probably never happen.
DD> True dat.
IIRC, Long John Silver's does use plates, as does Zaxby's. The latter
are a recyclable plastic, don't remember the LJS ones.
DD> On of my regular breakfast/lunch spots (Brunchfield Cafe) uses a paper
DD> based clamshell "go box" that I thought was styrofoam when I first met
DD> it. It seems to be paper mache' or something very like it. Kudos to
DD> Chef/ Owner Howard Seidel.

RH> There is a corn based (form of corn starch) styrofoam now that breaks
RH> down fairly rapidly as I understand. If I remember reading rightly,
RH> it's a lot more environmentally friendly than even paper in its break
RH> down.
DD> I have a bag of biodegradable packing peanuts in the corner of the
DD> room. They're left over from when I shipped one of my surplus
DD> confusers to our esteemed moderator.
RH> We tend to accumulate those--and bubble wrap, then purge the supply
RH> every so often. Packing pillows are usually popped (G), then the
RH> plastic goes into the trash can.
DD> I keep a small supply of the "small bubble" bubble wrap. The large
DD> bubble stuff and the popped pillows go into the recyclyng bins with
DD> the plastic grocery/tote bags to be taken to one of the stipormarkups
DD> which maintain a collection point for such. I try to keep the
DD> "forever" plastics out of our landfills.
We recycle quite a bit--usually have more in the recycle bin than the
regular trash. Wake Forest picks both up on a weekly basis--and, IIRC,
does take all kinds of plastic, but not styrofoam.
DD> Rosh Hashanah begins on 25 September. Happy New Year!
RH> Mazel tov!
DD> A sheynem dank!
DD> Title: Nanny's Rosh Hashanah Apple Cake
DD> Categories: Cakes, Desserts, Fruits, Nuts, Citrus
DD> Yield: 8 servings
Looks yummy!
