Sandwich bags

Recently I helped my dear friend FabuLeslie clean out her closet. I came home with a bag full of her cast-offs. My favorite of which was a sandwich bag.

The second I saw it I knew my dream of having a purse specifically designed to carry a sandwich was close to coming true. 
"You have to let me have that one,"  I told her.
 "Why?  Because it's a triangular prism?"  (She knows me very well.  Including my affinity for triangular prisms.) 
"Yes!  And so I can carry sandwiches anywhere, with ease.  And they won't come unwrapped.  Or get smashed."  I told her.

It works.  Like a charm.  Like a turkey-swiss charm.

There's even some room left over for a brownie an apple.


I like it so much that I wrote it a haiku:

Of course a pb and j would not work in my newly acquired sandwich bag.  I have Ziploc bags for that.  I am so cheap green that I can't bear to throw them out after one use.  In my family, we joke about how my sweet and practical grandma used to rinse her Ziploc bags and hang them up to dry.  She would be happy to see this very common sight in my kitchen.

I don't know what she'd say about this other very common sight in my kitchen:

But I bet she would say "That's a fine hen."

Anything interesting going on in your kitchen today?
