Friday Fun Fact #3

OK, now this is just silly...

Again from the  'Page-a-Day Living Green 2008' online calendar...
"Put a lid on it...Lose a little less energy through your stovetop (whether gas or electric) by applying the simplest of expedients - a lid over a saucepan to contain heat and warm food faster."
Is it me, or is that just like 'duh...of course it will'???  Hat on head, top on pot...both keeps the heat in....H*E*L*L*O???  I think I need to find better fun facts!!!

yes, it does seem to be what we call here in the UK, in a famous phrase from John Cleese in Fawlty Towers....."the art of stating the b******g obvious"!!

ooooh hope you don't mind the swearing there, at least I put astericks to hide it from poor Ruby's sweet ears.

Have a calm and relaxing weekend Michele!

It seems to be life these days because to some people it isn't obvious.

Now you know someone flipped to today and said "WOW! What a great idea!!!!" ;)

I read some get-green website today that told me to use mentral cups instead of tampons/pads. It ain't happening, no matter how much I love the Earth.

Um - that should have said MENSTRAL not mentral. In case you were confused, LOL. :)

You're right. That's kind of a basic idea. Maybe they had trouble coming up with 365 ideas?
