I wanted to make muffins.

I have NOT that muffin paper cups.

I baked them PAPERLESS in duralex glasses.

This makes me think: Why do we always put the paper when we bake muffins or cupcakes? Imagine six billions people eating one muffin…that is six billions paper trash! And how many trees died for this? And what is the purpose? Portability? I don’t think so. Even when you buy one muffin to take away in a cafe or bakery, the would always give you paper bag and napkins with it. I rarely see people carrying muffin just like that, even when they do, they still use napkin to hold it. So, why not paperless muffin? Imagine how many muffin I have already baked in my life? And how mindless I was?

I believe, being green should first be an attitude, not lifestyle.

And I believe, even by starting from little things like muffin paper we could reduce trash.

So, from now, I will always bake PAPERLESS MUFFINS.

I was thinking to give you recipes, but you know, the web is flooded enough with zillion of banana and chocolate muffins recipes :) I think you can just google it :) The thing is, just bake it…paperLESS :)

Love.

It takes a while to return to my normal rhythm of life, it has been full of friends and family visits for this past three weeks, and now, finally just us. This is Marco’s lunch today, I had a late late breakfast, so, I guess I will fix myself a bowl of green salad with tofu after writing this post. It was some kind of hachis parmentier. “Some kind” because I did not use diced meat and sauce lynnoaise, but ground beef and some fresh tomatoes, plus some shallots and lemon thyme (I prefer to use the common thyme but we only have this at home right now).
