They were making a curry and roasting peppers in the oven. To do that they lined a baking sheet with foil.<\/p>\n<p>I like the idea of keeping the baking sheets clean.  We scrub and scrub and scrub ours and they&#8217;re still blackened and pitted.  It&#8217;d sure be nice to have pristine baking sheets that look like new.  Maybe I should line my pans.<\/p>\n<p>But if I line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, I&#8217;ve not only spent money on the foil, but the foil then has to be thrown away.  I can&#8217;t recycle it with food baked on it.  An irreplaceable natural resource headed for the landfill, all because I wanted a baking pan to look pretty.<\/p>\n<p>I love my pans, I really do.  And I wish they looked perfect.  But does it really matter how shiny they are?<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t think so.<\/p>\n<div style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid black;\"><\/div>\n<p><a name=\"1\">1.<\/a> <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>green\u00b7ie<br \/>\n??r?n?\/<br \/>\nnoun informal derogatory<br \/>\na person who campaigns for protection of the environment.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Ok, yes, I am.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m not a greenie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6261","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cooking","category-curmudgeon"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chuckzumbrun.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6261","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chuckzumbrun.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chuckzumbrun.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chuckzumbrun.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chuckzumbrun.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6261"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chuckzumbrun.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6261\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chuckzumbrun.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6261"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chuckzumbrun.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6261"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chuckzumbrun.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6261"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
