cooler heaven
i love keeping a cooler in my car. have stopped going to restaurants with “waiters” (who mostly suck), and rarely do anything but eat meals i prepare with my portable kitchen — two containers of utensils, spices, etc., including perishables most people wrongly assume must or should be chilled once cut into (e.g., tomatoes, onions).
a small cooler with only 10 pounds of ice can keep food fresh for days in the summer. the drawback is the water; if efficiency’s your thing, the water must stay until it hits the 50s. but water tends to ruin some food. today, i may have found the answer, and it is LOCK & LOCK, baby!
big fan of the usual “disposable” plastic containers (that i almost never throw away), but they all leak. L&L doesn’t leak (so far). i can let my cooler go full waterlogged without my preciouses seeing a drop. nice.
got my intro set at harris teeter, but they’re apparently available plenty of places. surprised i haven’t seen before. appears it’s the best solution for the cooler crowd. go forth and get waterlogged.
