Sweethearts
indulge in chocolate and Champaign on a typical Feb. 14, but this season it
falls on the day where some are abstaining from meat and treats at the
beginning of Lent.
While
it may seem to those who don’t
follow the tradition that Lent is all about eating more fish, but it’s actually
about not eating meat on Fridays (and so many more reflective though
processes). These days we are as likely to make meals from kale and quinoa
salads as fish filet sandwiches from a drive through. I think it’s more fun to
experiment with different flavors and learn about different cultures during the
season.
That
said, I have collected tins of seafood that are easy to pop into a lunch bag.
We’ve come a long way from the cans of sardines on pantry shelves in the ‘70s.
I’m partial to braised eel, smoked oysters and several varieties of seafood
packed in those little tins.
Thanks
to Pinterest, I’ve also got my eye on projects I can attempt to “upcycle” those
tins. Planting succulents is an easy one. Gluing on jewels to make a 3-D photo
frame is a bit more challenging. I’ll likely never get to fashioning one of
those little sleeping beds for tiny stuffed critters from a sardine can, but
will just say, there sure are some clever crafters out there.

odor removal got stylish with “remodeez,” which are non-toxic, odor and
moisture removers inviting you to outsmart smell. The green plastic package
that looks like a bowtie fits into sneakers and other shapes in purple and
blues do their work in your car, closet, luggage, backpack, camping gear,
garbage pails and refrigerators. These look like some trendy gadgets you could
get at The Container Store or Target. What? The remodeez publicists say you
can.
