2000th Post and another Ball Jar Hack

This blog is a little over ten years old. There were months at a time when I did not post because computer was broken, being repaired, or I could not get into my blog. When I first started, no one even visited my blog. No one commented. Then, ten people came to my blog one day. I was ecstatic...ten people...lol.

Not being able to use the Kodak picture program has hurt me, maybe not the blog. The person who was going to teach me how to use Paint had not. I will not use Picasa or whatever it is. They own your pictures, and once you do not use their program, they remove your pictures from the blog.

Plus, I have no chickens to write about. And, I cannot post a picture of the one I have. And, I have not planted anything. The interesting things for my blog really need a picture.

This is a milestone, but what does it mean? I am not sure.

I was looking around and thought of another hack for the applesauce cup I wrote about yesterday. (Actually, you can just as easily scroll down just below this post.)Yogurt could be in the bottom of the jar with granola in the top. It seems there could be other applications. Maybe if you wanted to heat chili and put cheese on top, you could put the cheese in the cup. Crackers could go in the cup and not get soggy from the chili.

Sometimes, I don't want the cheese microwaved on top of the food because I  want cheese shaken onto  the hot food. Maybe two snacks could go into the setup, like strawberries in the jar and crackers in the top.

There are instances where one food will make the other soggy. I am quite sure you can think of your own examples. What two things would you put in the jar and applesauce cup?

Ball Jar Salad Hack

These silicone cups fit inside a wide-mouth jar. The purpose is to carry salad dressing in the cup on top of the salad in the wide mouth jar. I thought this was a great idea. They only fit a wide-mouth jar. The pint jar is probably the size I would use.

Scroll down a bit at the source to see this picture.

While I love the idea, I can get a free item that will work just as well.

A few months ago, I was looking at this. I went into the kitchen and fished from the trash a used cup that held applesauce a few hours before. It fit perfectly! The little rim on the top of the applesauce cup fits perfectly on the jar rim. Then, the rubber in the lid fits right onto the lip on the applesauce cup. While I did not check to see if it was leak proof, I am quite sure it is close enough for taking for lunch.

Let me say that I got applesauce in cups with a sale and coupon cheaper per ounce than I could have bought a jar or glass container of applesauce.

Somewhere there is a picture of a jar with salad in it and the silicone cup in the top.

I had the two pictures perfectly placed, but I clicked something and they stuck together and won't come apart. If I keep fiddling with them, I might just delete the whole post!

Why would I pay $9.99 + shipping for something like this when I can use a free hack for the same thing?

Your turn
Have you seen these silicone cups? Do you have one?  Do you ever carry a salad to work? In what?
