I've been slaving over my stove for 8 hours making these wraps today. well worth it, I think. I have something reliable to wrap my bread in AND making strides in reducing plastic from my kitchen. Simple to make, but a little time consuming, so you kind of want to make a bunch if you dive in. submitted by /u/jmmerphy to r/Breadit [link] [comments]

Looking for local Winnipeg businesses that sell beeswax wrap for sandwiches, snacks, etc. Been looking for so long but can’t seem to stumble on one. submitted by /u/kidrauhl060602 to r/Winnipeg [link] [comments]

Hi! I’m making some beeswax wraps for the first time and I can’t figure out where I went wrong and what to try next. I am making them using the mountain rose herb blog post: https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/the-complete-guide-to-diy-beeswax-wraps-including-a-beeless-vegan-food-wrap I followed all the steps in the blog and mine came out very crumbly. I washed and dried 100 percent quilting cotton, I heated up the resin, beeswax and jojoba oil in a double boiler until fully incorporated. I painted it on the fabric with a brush and then put in a 275 degree oven for two minutes. I brushed the mixture around after it came out oven to make sure I didn’t miss any spots. I let them dry on a wrack for about five minutes but when I did a crumple test, they were super crumbly and don’t stick to themselves or anything else. Is it too much oil? Too little? Do I need more resin? I’m reasonably assured on the quality of the jojoba oil and beeswax since I bought them from a local natural health store. The resin is from Amazon though. It is pine resin but it said it was for beeswax wraps. Do I need to just scrape off some of the mixture and reheat? I appreciate all the help! These are a gift but I have lots of cotton to practice on 😂 submitted by /u/Fine-Opportunity4102 to r/ZeroWaste [link] [comments]

I've been thinking about getting beeswax wraps for a while now and finally grabbed some from a local and woman owned company while I was at a local fair. Took them home and tried one... They don't stick to glass or even themselves. I'm scrunching, I'm warming them in my hands, I'm pressing. One side comes away from the bowl as I'm pressing the other. I squeeze it on to a drinking glass and as soon as I put it down the folds slowly unstick from themselves and unfold. I tried double folding the edges to make a little pouch and it kinda sticks for a minute but then comes apart easily. I tried water in the glass to see how water tight it is and nope. And they leave a film of wax behind that's difficult to clean off. Did I get a bad set, or were my expectations too high? I've reached out to the seller but of course she's a small no website make them at home company and I'm not sure she'll respond. submitted by /u/ironysparkles to r/ZeroWaste [link] [comments]

I am not the OOP. The OOP is u/starrhatesyou posting in r/AITAH Concluded, OOP has deleted her account 2 updates - Long Original - 20th March 2025 Update1 - 22nd March 2025 Update2 - 24th March 2025 AITAH for telling my husband “this has nothing to do with you” ? I (27F) and my husband (27M) just had an..argument? If you could call it that. So my brother just got a job and it’s great, except he just got thrown into single-fatherhood immediately after. He has a daughter, my niece, who is about 6 months old, and has no one to babysit her while he works as the mother suddenly isn’t in the picture. He called me, asking if I could watch the baby during the week while he works, only for a few weeks, since he knows I am a stay at home mom myself. I would have said yes, but I can’t. I am pregnant and have 2 young kids of my own, one of which does school from home and I have to do it with her, which we are still getting the hang of because we just moved. By the time I’d be prepared for that he wouldn’t need the help anymore. He understood, and asked if I knew anyone personally who could help because he was out of people to ask and wanted to try and avoid daycares as he didn’t trust it. He said he would pay and cover everything but he just urgently needed someone and I said I’d ask around. I don’t really have friends and I don’t know many people in general as I’m very introverted, but my sister in law (25) lives with us, and was just telling me how she needed a job and needed money, so I proposed the idea to her. She immediately agreed, and so I put her and my brother in a group chat to talk, as well as brought my brother over to the house to have a face to face talk about it. Now they’re not strangers of course they’ve met before and all, so it wasn’t awkward. So they talked about the baby, what was needed, etc. My brother didn’t have a long term plan mapped out right then since everything was so abrupt, but my SIL was understanding and said she’d “be okay with whatever” and that was that. I’m not sure of other details as they text on their own and it isn’t really my deal, it was up to them, but Ultimately it came down to my brother ubering my SIL to his house early in the morning and then dropping her off at home, and seeing how things go, which she agreed to. Everything seemed fine until the day of, my husband came into our room and blind sided me with all these complaints on her behalf. He said my SIL had not eaten since the morning, that she wasn’t comfortable and she was tired and that she didn’t even need to be there because other people were home and could have watched the baby, and that they only gave her 100 dollars, etc. I was confused, because I spoke to my SIL while she was there to check on her and she said everything was fine. So I told him she didn’t say any of those things to me, and I asked her and she said she wasn’t complaining to him. I said to him bluntly “So she is not complaining, you are complaining FOR her” and he said “Yes.” I told him I was confused, because he was throwing it all at me as if it’s my responsibility, and that SIL and my brother are 2 adults who made their own deal, that was up to her and she agreed to it, nobody was forcing her. If she was uncomfortable or anything all she had to do was say it. He continued to repeat the complaints and said “Do I have to get involved” I told him the deal doesn’t involve him, or me for that matter, and I don’t understand why he’s the only one upset here when it has nothing to do with him. They are adults. He told me he “can’t even have a conversation” with me and left the room. I’m genuinely confused. Am I missing something here? My SIL is also confused as to why he even got worked up to begin with. AITA? Comments Friendly-Ask5633 This is weird as fuck to me. Why is he so concerned about his sister ? She needed a job you got her one if she worked for a regular employer would he call her boss and complain for her ? What’s he expect his PREGNANT wife to do ? Idk man shits weird to me “do I need to get involved?” No you need to cut the cord weirdo. OOP: Yeah I mean he threw it at me like trying to make it seem like I don’t care about my SIL or like something was my fault that I needed to correct, but he was the only one upset? My SIL says she never complained so I just don’t get why I’m the bad guy in this “argument” Friendly-Ask5633 I wish I could give you better advice besides telling him to mind his own beeswax. But that’s all it is. If it’s going to be an issue the only people who are going to suffer is your brother who can’t work and your sister who needs money? Idk what he wants you to do girl besides having him pay her an exorbitant amount of money to watch a 6 month old or should he also pay for her to eat while he pays for her rides to and from which again a normal employer would not. They’re family but not family at the same time so if he wants her to get paid more then maybe he should find her a ride and whatever your brother spends weekly on Uber he can instead give to her ? But it seems like your husband will be unhappy either way unless your sil just quits which seems like that’s what he wants. Unless the sister in law is lying and really complained it’s like what the heck dude OOP: I flat out asked him, “What is it that you want? What do you want to happen?” And he said “It’s not about what I want” 🧍🏻‍♀️I said “But you’re the only one complaining” and he got mad, trying to make it seem like I’m being inconsiderate? I’m so confused. And I wasn’t even rude about it Friendly-Ask5633 Girl take you and your babies and your sister in law and get y’all some ice cream and go see a movie. Don’t invite him, sounds like he’s just being difficult for the sake of being difficult. You don’t need that stress you just tried to help her and if he can’t see that then that’s on him. If he takes it up with your brother then let him. Warn your brother that this may become an issue so he can start looking for other child care options. Your husband sounds like he just has some beef with your brother maybe it’s underlying. But he’s pushing this for no reason and that’s super sketchy to me. OOP: And even then THAT would confuse me😭 we moved to our new house about a week ago, and my brother is the one who helped my husband and I move. They loaded and moved all the furniture and everything together just the two of them, 0 beef, he even gave my brother an extra few bucks to thank him for helping out. I just don’t get it Lammerikano tell him to prepare his sister meal to take to 'work' if he is concerned for her. You 2 might be blowing up a misunderstanding btw - she was simply venting after work (its ok shes new to it) and he thinks he has to 'defend' his sister. try explaining to him 100 bucks a day is a good deal and it will do her good, and should atleast consider staying enough time to be able to list it on a cv. Also - just text her and ask her to call you if shes having problems. I know this isn't your concern but you provided the contact and this way you just remove any drama coming from your hubby. edit> if she has concerns requests you can have an adult convo about it and u can parley for your brother and then pass it to him. If it doesn't work just move to helping bro finding another solution and move on. better than 2 people not involved arguing about it. OOP: It would be easier to understand where this is stemming from, but she says that she didn’t tell him anything and she was confused like I was Update - 2 days later So, since I spoke with SIL and Husband separately and got nowhere, I finally got the chance to sit them down together. I was calm and respectful the entire time. I flat out said “Okay so in regards to the babysitting gig, what’s going on? What issues are there and where are they coming from?” Husband made a scoffing sound and looked annoyed but didn’t speak up. So I turned to my SIL and asked her bluntly “Do you have any complaints, concerns or problems with the arrangement you and my brother made for the babysitting?” She said “Absolutely not.” I asked her “Are you sure? Did you say anything to (husband) that says otherwise? It’s completely fine if you did but you have to speak up for yourself and talk about it, even to me if not my brother.” She said “I honestly have no issues and I didn’t complain to anybody, I swear” then we looked at Husband. She told him that she was fine with the arrangements and had no complaints, then she asked him why he had made a scene for no reason. He got defensive and said “Nobody said you were complaining! It just doesn’t make sense to me, there’s no point in you doing it and it’s not convenient. Are you even getting paid good?” I sat there trying to understand why he was getting so defensive and SIL shot back at him telling him it wasn’t his business and it didn’t have to make sense to him (echoing exactly wtf I’d said in the first place that it had nothing to do with him), and that she didn’t appreciate him doing this without a good reason. He said he does have a reason, and when we asked what the reason was, he said “because it doesn’t make sense to me”. I calmly asked him which part didn’t make sense to him, and why he was so bothered by it when it does not affect his/our daily life in any way, that it didn’t have to make sense to him cause it isn’t his arrangement, and he got angry. He stood up from his seat, rambling something about how we were ganging up on him, and that we weren’t going to “make him the bad guy”, and that “nobody listens”. Me and SIL just looked at him while he rambled and she was just as lost as me. I (still very calm) asked him what he wanted out of this, and why he kept trying to involve himself, when SIL clearly said she is happy with the agreement. He said “Nobody fucking uses their brain around here but me I guess.” and walked out. I don’t know about yall, but I’m no ass kisser and I definitely wasn’t about to chase after him or baby him, he was being completely ridiculous IMO. So we let him go and that was it. About an hour later, he came back, and started saying things under his breath, like “my own wife just let me walk out” and “she doesn’t even care about me” and “it’s just fuck me I guess I just don’t matter”, while sighing and dragging it out. I ignored all of it, (because ??? grow up dude) and he came into the room and said “So you have nothing to say to me?” And I was like “Nope. We tried to address things and you decided to storm off, so that’s that. I think you’re being dramatic and that’s a You problem.” He then called me inconsiderate and selfish, and left. Welp. I don’t know what I’m supposed to do there or what he’s expecting but🥲 there’s the update guys! Comments Cultural_Section_862 he thinks your brother is taking advantage of his sister's kindness. He may not trust or like your brother. He may worry they'll develop a romantic relationship. either way he needs to grow the fuck up and use his grown up words. I have 0 tolerance for grown ass men that throw temper tantrums. OOP: I can’t gage it at all, and at this point I don’t even care to because it’s just ridiculous. We are all adults. My brother pays SIL handsomely, even paying for her rides to/from home. Aside from texting about the baby or the arrangement, they don’t really talk. And SIL is an open lesbian. I tried to ask him nicely instead of being rude and invalidating whatever his problem was, but he couldn’t even handle THAT, I’m so over it that I don’t even care what his problem is anymore I do! I'm nosey and wanna know exactly how ridiculous he's being lmao OOP: This made me cackle out loud Update - 2 days later Hello once again. I know a lot of you were wanting to know what’s happened. With all the support from you guys, I feel I do owe you that. Things have happened, and I needed time to be alone, gather myself and process. My husband kept on with the attitude, the side comments under his breath, and just being weird. I gave no reactions and ignored it cause I got better things to give my energy to, like my pregnancy and my 2 children. Anyway, I was cleaning, and my husband decided to confront me, and ask me ‘why I’m acting this way’. ????? I asked him what he meant, and he said I’m ’being a way towards him’ and I simply told him I absofuckinglutely will not coddle him for an attitude that doesn’t make sense for him to have. He got upset, rambling something about how as his wife it should matter to me that he’s upset, and I said I have done nothing to him and I gave him chances to explain what was wrong and he didn’t, so it’s not my responsibility to ‘fix’ whatever it is. He said this was ‘all my fault’, and I asked him WHAT is my fault?? I’ve done nothing but take care of our kids and our home as well as him. I told him that he made no sense, that nobody did anything to him, not me, not my brother, not SIL, NO ONE, that I wasn’t going to deal with his attitude at all, and that he could find somewhere else to stay if he wasn’t gonna cut it out. He sat down and said “That’s what I’m talking about”, saying that my ‘lack of giving a shit’ and my “no nonsense attitude” is upsetting to him. I asked him why would I be wanting to put up with bullshit especially while pregnant, and why would that bother him? HE started all this drama over something that had nothing to do with him. And then it came. He took a deep breath and broke down with confession after confession. He admitted he had an affair, he admitted that he had installed a camera in our home without telling me in hopes I’d do something stupid so he could use it as ‘defense’, and that he’d figured out the woman he cheated with knew my brother, which is why he freaked about SIL working for him. He admitted he started drama to create an argument on purpose to give him a reason to feel justified, and my calm reactions for everything made that impossible for him. It bothered him that I “never did anything wrong” because he had done something wrong and couldn’t shift blame. I could barely react, I kind of just looked at him, my stomach was hurting, I just couldn’t wrap my brain around any of it. He told me he was sorry, that he’s a piece of shit and he doesn’t know why he did it, that he loves me, tearing himself down, and I just told him to stop talking. I calmly said to remove whatever camera he installed, and to find somewhere else to stay. He cried and begged and I shut it down. He asked if I was going to tell SIL. ???? You’re worried about me telling people or what other people are gonna think of you instead of worrying about the fucking damage you’ve just done to our family. He left, but wouldn’t stop calling me, trying to talk. Suddenly he wants to have a conversation huh, how funny. I put my phone on silent and went to play with my kids, trying to be normal to shield them from it I didn’t want them to see me upset. I was broken up on the inside, had a scare, I kept having sharp pain in my stomach and then I started to bleed. I was fucking terrified, I thought I’d lost the baby. My family helped me out, I got to the hospital, baby is okay. I guess it was just the stress, being too much. After everything settled I got home put my kids to bed and cried it out. We’ve been together since we were like 15, I’ve never cheated on him ever, we’re approaching 30, like what type of shit is that? I’ve never had a trust issue with him before, I’m not a phone snooper, I just don’t do things like that, and I didn’t have a reason to he’s never behaved like this before. Maybe he has cheated before and I just don’t know about it. I don’t even care to know, one time is enough for me. I want a divorce. I will be fair about it, I will not turn our children against him, I won’t drag it. But I am done. Thanks for listening guys. Comments WinterFront1431 Yeah, he wanted a reason to make you the villain, so he could say well she acted like this or spoke to me like this."" That's why I cheated, etc. I'd tell everyone and tell your brother about the skank he knows who was banging your husband. I'd block his number and use SIL as a go-to when he can come and collect the kids for visitation. I know it's hard, but don't take him back. This man tried to manipulate you into being the villian so it would justify him fucking another woman. PiperWander You summed it up perfectly. He wanted to rewrite the story so he could be the victim but the truth came out anyway. No excuses no justifications just pure betrayal. She deserves so much better than a man who tried to gaslight her into taking the blame for his choices. Lovely-Brooke Well, at least he finally gave you a reason for his weird behavior. Sorry you had to go through all that drama and stress, but at least now you can move on and find someone who won't install cameras in your house without your knowledge. #redflags #byeFelicia I am not the OOP.

Today I made the terrible discovery of mice droppings in my silverware drawer. Everything else is easy enough to pop into the dishwasher and I feel confident in the heat disinfecting them. Unfortunately I also kept my wax wraps in that drawer. I know I can wash them in cold water with dish soap, but is that really enough to disinfect them? Is there anyway I can or should I call them a loss? If they can’t be redeemed for food use, is there something else I could do with them besides tossing them? Edit: thanks everyone! I think I’m going to err on the safe side and get rid of them. I’ve had them for almost 3 years, so they have certainly served their purpose. It honestly was probably really time to replace them anyway. I have a local zero/minimal waste and refill store that I’ve been needing to go to for a couple weeks anyway, so I’ll just pick a couple new ones up when I go for other stuff. submitted by /u/YellowTonkaTrunk to r/ZeroWaste [link] [comments]

Throwaway. On Mobile. I'll start this by saying I hate bleach. I use it to clean the toilet and I'll pour it down an empty sink to clear out smell. But overall I'd rather clean with any other cleaner. I don't like the way bleach feels slimey on my hands and makes them itch, and I don't like to smell it. I have a bunch of reusable silicone bags. I dont buy throwaway freezer bags anymore, I use these for everything. I'm the one who usually does dishes and other chores as a stay at home mom, but when my husband gets home from work he helps around the house, too, and I'm grateful for it. The thing is, he does stuff wrong and I mean that in the nicest way possible. But he puts stuff in the wrong place, he mixes laundry together, and he loves to clean with bleach. We've had this talk before that my silicone bags can't sit in bleach. It's eats away at them. I've also had to warn him to not pour boiling hot water in the sink if my bags are in there (I try to keep them on one side of the sink) because it melts them. I've lost a few bags this way. There have been three occasions in the past that he forgot and put my bags in bleach water and I've had to pull them out and rinse them and wash them right there. He thinks they need to soak in it because a few have stains (like one has a couple red spots from tomatoes, and one has yellow spots from a yellow bell pepper) but they're clean. They don't spend more than a day in the sink. We have 5 kids so our sink fills fast and even doing dishes 4-5 times a day (by hand. No dishwasher), sometimes there's still stuff in there when I go to bed. Well my husband decided to do dishes last night after I went to bed. There was one pan left from dinner (rinsed out), five of my bags (also rinsed), some silverware, and a bunch of sippy cups because I do sippy cups last and get a qtip to help clean them out. So he ended up doing the other stuff and then soaked the sippy cups AND my bags in bleach and went to bed. I got up at 3am, which I do a lot because I'm not a good sleeper. He's usually up at 3 for work but this morning is his day off. I got up and did my thing. Early morning is kinda my me time before the kids wake up. But then I walked into the kitchen and saw my bags in the bleach water. I pulled three of them out but the other two were at the bottom so I woke him up and got him to drain the water and rinse them for me. He's upset with me for waking him up on his day off and I'm upset with him because we've had this talk before and he knows I don't like sticking my hands in bleach. The three sticking out of the water have lines across them showing where the bleach was eating away at them and honestly I probably need to chuck all five. But AITA? Edit/Update: Thank you to everyone who took the time to respond. Especially the ones to teach me that my bags are not truly silicone. I looked them up and did some more research and while my bags are food safe, they aren't silicone (despite Amazon saying so). I also use beeswax wraps and other reusable stuff and hadn't had a problem with these so far to have to look into until it was pointed out silicone shouldn't melt (which is so freaking obvious because I have actual silicone stuff that goes in my oven. I'm dumb sometimes, okay?) Anyway, I will be spending part of next year's tax return on some nice, real, silicone bags. The five that were in bleach water (I guess I didn't specify in my post, but it was diluted in a sink full of water, though I can't tell you exactly how much bleach he adds) I threw away and after reading everyone's comments about bleach, I scrubbed all of the cups with soap water, rinsed them, and then dropped them all in a sink full of soapy water. I may just throw them away, too, and buy new sippy cups. I also threw the bleach away and when my husband gets home I will be showing him this post and informing him we are now a bleach free household. submitted by /u/whatever87347 to r/AmItheAsshole [link] [comments]

I got as a christmas present some Beeswax Warps. They are truly awesome. I don't need to buy cling wrap or foil, it keeps stuff fresh for longer and keeps its shape so you don't crush what you are keeping. You can wash it and fold it and you feel like a Medieval Traveler when you use it to wrap sandwiches. submitted by /u/elforastero to r/Frugal [link] [comments]
