As a Thanksgiving dinner
guest, your job is to simply show up with a brilliant hostess gift, eat your
weight in pumpkin pie, then depart before you fall asleep. Right?
Though you might be
planning to saddle up to your host’s house with a nice bottle of red or a
homemade pecan pie, there’s actually more you could be doing, and bringing,
while the cider’s mulling, turkey’s turkeying, and yams are yamming.
Hence, whether you’re playing
hostess or attendee at Thanksgiving this year, one thing you're sure of counting on
is the endless amount of leftovers that are always on-hand at the end of the
meal.
Like clockwork, at the
end of the night, the leftovers are divided up and you’re sent packing with
your host’s valuable food storage containers baring enough cranberry sauce or
popovers to feed you for the week to come. Instead, impress your host and make
Thanksgiving less wasteful by bringing your own leftover containers.
Bringing your own
plastic or glass food containers not only saves your host on clean-up and
refrigeration space, but it also allows them to not dole out their own food
storage sets because you brought your own.
Ask your host ahead
of time if they really need that side of healthy mashed potatoes you were
planning to bring. If not, instead of bringing an extra dish they might not
need, show up with some handy food storage containers that are a gift to both
the hostess and you.
