Labeling your Leftovers!

I don't know HOW MANY times I've put leftovers in containers (you know the cottage cheese container that you feel really bad about just throwing away - SAVE OUR PLANET! - so you wash it and re-use it as many times as possible before it goes into recycling)...and said to myself "Self, you're incredibly smart and quick and have the best memory; of COURSE you're going to remember what's in this container next month when you're scrounging for a quick lunch"!NOT.  So I started using folder labels to identify and date the food.  Didn't work - labels fell off.  So I bought freezer labels but really resented how expensive they were.  So I bought myself a permanent black Sharpie and started writing stuff on the lids.  The lids got "full" (I'm really concerned about the environment).  THEN I saw a tip SOMEwhere I can't remember - and I'm going to share it with you.  Buy a roll of blue painter's tape at the hardware store.  Five bucks, you can tear pieces off with your hands - no need for scissors, it won't fall off in the freezer, that five dollar investment will pay off for 5 YEARS,  and it's easily removable when you need to switch labels.  There.  For more tips and tidbits subscribe here.
