If the bowl was a serving bowl, a dinner plate worked just fine. If the contents mounded in the bowl, we turned the plate
upside-down, allowing the edges to still be sealed by the plate, while the concave curve of the plate allowed for the mounding
of the food.
Same rules applied to small contents: placed in cereal bowls, then topped with either a right-side-up or upside-down
saucer.
We weren't so cautious about catsup and mustard being in the fridge back then, either. They usually set on the table, with a luncheon cloth
spread over the top to keep flies from wandering over the containers. Pickles, too, and butter; jams and jellies, were all allowed a space in the
luncheon cloth tent, ready for the next meal, or for snackers who happened to spy that last leftover biscuit, and needed something for a topping! :-)
Don't throw away those worn out towels, either! They'll still have some good, usable fabric! turn the good places into baby bibs, washcloths, hand towels, dish towels, etc. Before discarding worn out clothing, save the buttons, zippers, and cut out the non-worn places, to use for other projects. When you remove those buttons, connect them all together with a string, or thread, so you don't have to go looking thru your button box for buttons that match, when needed!
Each moment is God's gift to us...what we do with it is our gift to Him,
Till next time,
W
