trading tumblers

remember my idea about having a smoothie party? that set of 4 tumblers is headed out of the catalog. each one comes with a recipe for a different fruit smoothie. the seals are virtually-liquid tight which really makes it a travel smoothie cup...4 for $30.50

taking it's place? a set of 6 "eco" tumblers - each one with a different design of an endangered animal. they're quite pretty in real life. great for on the go and i'm sure they can also hold smoothies. these are...wait a sec...a better deal than the ones above...6 for $36.50. so about $6 each with a lifetime warranty.

homestyle cup of soup

a staple for lunch is soup. the problem with soup is that it's liquid. and when it gets heated, it bubbles. so if you like soup for lunch but don't take it for lunch because it spills in the car AND the microwave, here's some tupperware for you!

the crystalwave soup mug is the one that we use at our house. never leaks.

it came with the crystalwave set (seen below) that was on sale at my first ever tupperware party that i attended. the same set is on sale again until january 29th - let me know if you're interested. i'll put in an order on the 29th. the three piece set is 40% off - only $38.50.

another (prettier) option for taking soup for lunch is the vent and serve soup mug. a couple dollars more but the seal is a little easier to remove and the little vent pops up much more easily.

both these soup mugs (and all the vent and serve, in fact) have the vents so that you don't need to take the lid off and let your soup spray all over the microwave. however, a tip from experience is to still take off the seal, open the vent (always remember to open the vent), then just lay the seal on top of the mug. this way, when the soup is done being heated, you don't burn your fingers with the steam when taking the seal off!

happy soup eating!

leak proof - guaranteed

this is a picture of two women at a tupperware party back in the day, throwing a container filled with water. i love this picture. and if you'd like to recreate this impressive moment at your tupperware party, i can make that happen. how? all round tupperware seals are virtually liquid tight. round is the key - all edges are equidistant from the center.

as a teacher, i have seen dozens of lunch kits covered in yogurt or apple sauce due to poor containers. yuck. not fun to clean, let me tell you. i personally have had many a leak in my own lunch bags. (especially during that cereal phase i went through - old spilled milk is not a good smell) leak proof...for life. how can you go wrong?

my favourite round-seal containers to throw carelessly around are the snack cup set. perfect for yogurt or perhaps sweet potato baby food. these get tossed into my diaper bag daily now that

my assistant has started eating food. 4 of these for $16. worth every penny.

do you have a favourite round seal tupperware container?
