The wax wraps

I was so pleased I made the cheesy pasta pots last night.  Tea was a doddle and boy was I glad of that as I came home exhausted.  I am not used to working all day anymore. Tony picked me up and as soon as we arrived home I made some thick 'skin on' chips.  A little rub of olive oil, a bit of seasoning and straight in the oven with the pasta pots.
I've just cooked some more pasta to make into salads for lunch tomorrow and Thursday. Tomorrow's packed lunches are in the fridge and I put the extra pasta in a bowl and popped it in the fridge for Thursday. Instead of covering the bowl with cling film I used one of the wax wraps that I bought the other week. I am really impressed with them and will put a link to the company at the end of this post. I have bought some bees wax to have a go at making my own wraps and I will add a link to that company too.  I won't bore you with details of what we had for lunch today but I'll put a little post and photo on my Twenty in 2020 page

The bars of bees wax are a good size and they are great for sewers and beaders too. Just run the thread through the wax for a thicker stronger thread.

The lovely wax wrap.

    Glad you are finding the beeswax wraps really useful. I love mine and use them continually and have not had to buy cling film for a very long time! Meg:)

    I'm very interested. I still use cling film but really ought to reduce how much I use. I'll look up your links, thanks very much.

      We won't be buying any more cling film now that I have discovered the wax wraps

    I do like the look of those wax wraps. Such a good idea!
    If you have gone back to work, then make sure you get good rest when you are off! Take care!

    Thanks for the links. I have some beeswax that I bought for making soap. It smells divine.

    Thank you for sharing the info about the wax wraps. I am thinking of making some, myself - have to buy the beeswax, first!
