Reusable, vacuum sealable ziplock bags. Cuts back on waste & lengthens the shelf life of most foods.
It’s also really nice to be able to buy bulk meats & be able to separate them into vacuum sealed single servings.
And last but not least, it really helps with using the sous vide. I like being able to separate a bulk package of chicken into individual meals with different marinades. Just pull a bag out & defrost it, then it’s 90 seconds a side to gourmet meals midweek.
Just went with a generic option. I have some that have blue zip tops & some with gray.
The one big recommendation I can make is to get one with a battery powered suction pump. They’re little bit more expensive, but the handheld pumps have broken on me in the past.
Sir Edmond of The Rusty Dongs: “Oi, fit bird, I wanna take you 'ome and give you a ride in me full kit until you come down with the rusty nail and Jack the Ripper.”
…and now all I can think about is Warren, from There’s Something About Mary, chasing an armored knight Ted around yelling, “BANGERS & MASH!!! BANGERS AND MASH!”
I had a “condition” when I drank to much, that I called the “The ‘ol Burp & Purge.”
Anytime I drink too much, especially drinks with carbonation, I hit a point where I know I have to burp, but that burp is going to bring everything back up with it.
I got to the point that I could I calmly state “I need to burp” and I’d retreat to a bathroom.
My roommate at the time knew exactly what was going on. He’d seen numerous occasions where I did not go to the bathroom to burp & knew what followed.
I eventually learned that everyone else we drank profusely with just assumed I was a ridiculously polite drunk.
I had a plan, had it all laid out, and knew when I was ready.
Proceeded to get life saving-ly drunk & passed out. Woke up with a knife in my hand the next morning & knew I need to go to the hospital.
Cleaned myself up, called in sick to work, & went to UCLA Med.
Still here today thankfully. And as much as I appreciate what bourbon did for me that night, I have slowed my consumption significantly & have my head on straight.

Unfortunately, the rest of his human sized fecal cohort have gerrymandered the living hell out of this state. There’s a decent chance they’ve rigged it up well enough this year that he could win.
All I can do is hope my neighbors see through his bullshit & vote for their neighbors over hate.
